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?

Slightly sour somehow... Not sure if there's pipecleaner left in this draft beer or if it is meant to taste like this.

Smells just like French toast and molasses. Nuts! OMG it’s so sweet and I think I’m drinking syrup and there are notes of licorice before the maple overwhelms you and you drown in a vat of artificial vanilla flavor ewwwww I might throw up

Backwoods Bastard is one of my very favorite beers ever. French Toast Bastard ... was not. Tastes like drinking maple syrup French toast, so success there I guess. Not for me.

Ewww. Backwoods Bastard is at the top of the list of my favorite beers. To be fair, that’s what the tap said. The french toast was a surprise. Someone dripped a vanilla candle into my beer : (

What's extremely sweet for my taste I'm sure someone will like it. And I do to my head to the brewery for coming up with a new idea. Just wasn't something for me. But I do highly recommend founders brewing. They make some truly amazing beer.

SO MUCH FLAVOR, yes all caps is necessary. If you love French toast and want to drink it then this is the beer for you. It is well balanced flavors, there’s just too much flavor for me. Well done brewers!

It’s sweeter than maple syrup. Smells delicious but not something I would drink again. - @ Founders in Grand Rapids. Incredible spot. Rating my be lower due to buyers remorse. So many great beers and this counted as 2. 11.% ABV!!
