About This Beer

To recreate all the flavors of a french toast brunch, the crew at Hubbard’s Cave drenched this brew with a deluge of real maple syrup, then sprinkled it with cinnamon. And because this is a seriously fancy breakfast, they added a swirl of vanilla and a ribbon of silky lactose that melt through the roasty Stout body like a dollop of whipped cream.

Tasting Notes

It’s like taking a big bite of a short stack and chasing it with a sip of espresso, except it comes with a massive 12% ABV! And with hints of warming spice accentuating the maple sweetness on the finish, you’ll keep coming back for more!

Really fantastic dessert stout. Smacks you in the face with boozy cinnamon French toast. I'd definitely get this again.

This is 100% french toast in the after taste. It lingers for awhile and is very nice. Unfortunately while drinking it, I get very harsh whisky and banana flavors that ruin the drinking experience for me. I wish it led with the same french toast flavors I get after and that it was a bit more mild. Definitely will get you tipsy with its high alcohol content.

Hubbard’s Cave does it again. Not to sweet, good balance, super finish. Cinnamon is prominent with maple taking a slight back seat. ABV is well proportioned showing it’s teeth just enough. Good stuff.

Very sweet deconstruction of french toast. Hubbard's Cave does well with making sweet stouts.

Loads of maple and cinnamon. Some vanilla sweetness. Exactly like drinking liquid french toast. A little heavy on the sweetness but still quite enjoyable if shared.

Super dark, maple syrup up front. I get the rest of the spices after. It gets better as it warms up just slightly in the glass. Just wish it was a bit more carbonated.
