4 oz pour on draft at Spacebar. Clear amber with beige head. Aromas of light berries, cinnamon, herbs, spices. Tastes of berries, cinnamon, spices, light apple. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Kinda strange.

I had the pleasure of splitting this bottle with my brother. The idea of a french toast beer was pretty intriguing to both of us. Poured a fluffy white color with a small amount of amber colored liquid at the bottom of the glass - pretty much all foam.
The beer itself was a little muted - mostly light malts, maybe some light sugar notes. Vanilla might have been in there. Was hoping for a maple blast or something. Nothing. Flavor was... unfortunate. Even after letting all the head dissipate, the beer was way over-carbonated - it was like drinking club soda or a bad macro. Not particularly offensive, but unfortunately undrinkable. Had a few additional sips before pouring the remainder of the foamy beer down the drain.

Maple syrup nose, not strong. Cloudy copper, thin head. Malty, but tame. Medium head, easy carbonation.

22oz bottle pours a hazy amber with some frothy white head. Nose has all you’d expect, plenty of caramel malt, quite pancake-y, plenty of cheap maple syrup, blueberry extract, a little biscuik muffin mix. Flavor has a lot of clove and all spice, blueberry extract, maple, vanilla, caramel, chewy grain. Finishes with sweetness and spice.

Bomber from Beer Run. Murky brown, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of cinnamon, maple, hints of blueberry. The taste is maple, blueberry, caramel malt. Thin-medium bodied.

From a 22 oz bottle shared at the Beer Head BBQ in Falls Church VA. Pours a hazy gold with an ecru head. Plastic notes in the aroma. Flavors of citrus with a hint of vanilla.
