Great Notion Brewing Frenched Toast

What the brewers say

Aged for 2 years in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels with Madagascar vanilla beans, whole cinnamon, and Ver-mont maple syrup.

What our panel thought

A very prominent and pleasant maple-syrup aroma. This one is a sweet and syrupy maple bomb as the aroma indicates.

What our editors thought

The cinnamon and maple-syrup notes jump out of the glass in a vivid display of adjunct intensity. The body is extremely sweet, but the quality of flavor delivers exactly as the ingredients promise, and then some. Burn down any expectations for balance and embrace the singular expression of these breakfast flavors.
