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?

Woah! Cinnamon, nutmeg, maple, and vanilla, with a bourbon finish. Sweet, but not thick. Spice is well balanced.

Huge maple syrup and definitely creamy!! A toasty bitterness in the finish with a splash of prunes going on-an excellent brew!!

Should've waited until I had people to share it with. Too sweet to have more than a couple drinks.

It’s really good…it’s sweet though, so it’s a sipper.

Get rid of the bourbon flavor and this would have been a 10/10

Maple syrup aroma punches you in the face. Dark pecan roasted smell. Thicker body, frothy. Not nearly as sweet as it smells. Dark, some maple flavoring. Can’t put my finger on it but it just feels off. Leaves something to be desired and misses it for me.

Wow, loads of maple. Actually the name really fits this beer well. Just wish it was a thicker like a stout, but it's not that style of beer. Excellent.

WOW. They ain't lying - it's like drinking French Toast (that's been steeped in bourbon for several weeks!) Not for the faint of heart, but definitely for special occasions.

Huh, tastes like boozy french toast. Big french toast up front with a lingering boozy finish.

Pure pancakes and maple syrup. More so than any other beer like this I’ve had. You can smell the maple syrup from a distance. I might have diabetes now.

Interesting, with this amount of cinnamon it reminds of the bcbs fourteen from last year.

The cinnamon perfectly enhances the maple. Barely perceptible. This is a great beer.

Happy birthday Hazel and Sam K.! Creamy head, maple syrup aroma, malty, Scotch ale taste with upfront notes of maple, cinnamon, and vanilla, smooth, meant for sipping, and a warming alcohol finish. Thanks Sam P. Just the thing for my sore throat…

Sweet maple, thin watery body, easy to drink. Translation: dangerous.
