French Toast Bastard

Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy

Backwoods Bastard gets the 4-star breakfast treatment. Our bourbon barrel-aged Scotch Ale is introduced to maple syrup, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla for a decadent brunch-inspired sipper. Breakfast for dinner, anyone?

Strong maple on the nose. Like fresh 100% maple syrup, not fake table syrup. Flavor starts with almost as much maple syrup but fades quickly to allow the bourbon oak notes to take over keeping it from being too sweet.

Nice dessert beer. Strong maple syrup flavor mixes well with the bourbon and slight vanilla flavor. Thanks Joe.

Very reminiscent of a barleywine in flavor balance. The alcohol is very noticeable, doesn't burn, but it is clearly there. The maple is stron on the nose and front end but quickly fades away.

S-W-E-E-T. Take 90% of the sugar out of it and it would be good. Had to give it a try.

One of my favorite beers, a scotch ale aged on Bourbon barrels with vanilla, cinnamon and maple. Truly delicious!

Oh man this smells good. (Sip) Holy booze Batman. Needs to be warmed up. It is not a dessert beer, but it is delicious and has fantastic flavors once fully warmed up to room temperature.

Smells amazing. Sweet maple and almost buttery. Butter yellow head. Mild barrel. Too much cinnamon,leaves an aftertaste.

They certainly nailed French Toast. Didn't they? Buttered up, maple covered, egg washed French toast. Certainly sweet, but so is the source material. Good for a sample of one and glad I was able to acquire as a single.

Keeping with the French Toast theme, this barrel aged Scotch Ale has even more flavor than the last beer, with maple, cinnamon & vanilla flavors, maple is dominant. Great 11.1% ABV.
