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?

Well … they did it. Tasted like I was drinking a stack of liquid french toast! Cinnamon, maple sweetness (like extra-buttery syrup sweet!) Even has a bready-pastry vibe. Buddy the Elf might even O.D. on this beer!

Alcohol level aside, my husband and I are in love. When my friend let me sample it, I raised my hands and praised the Lord. Please shake the brewer's hand for us if you go to this brewery.

I wanted to like this more, but think the flavors would be better in a stout. Very strong and sweet, I seemed to like it less the more I drank - regular Backwoods is a lot better.

Founders never disappoints with their barrel-aged beers! The smell of this was amazing, and the taste was quite great too! How fun!

Smells like a yankee candle, in a good way. Maple, cinnamon, and vanilla all present. 1st 6 ounces is tasty but the last 6 ounces is a bit taxing.

A little overly sweet. Should be a little thicker. Candied barleywine-like. Aroma of a caramel cinnamon candy. Cheers to 255 lbs on the chesties

Wish I could sit on the new deck! All the flavors huge on the nose, starts strong with cinnamon followed by the maple and an excellent wee heavy finish!
