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?

This is my 2nd day trying this 4-pack with a couple bottles remaining. Overall, the maple and vanilla cone forward quite well with cinnamon thankfully secondary. Overall, a very solid offering by Founders Brewery.

I can’t think of a better beer to usher in the cold weather in Houston. Warming, oakey, malty, and French toast to a tee. The flavors are wonderfully balanced, and so comforting in the 40 degree chill. 🥃🧇🥞

A masterclass on using cinnamon. Just enough. Decent chance I buy another 4 pack of these in a week 😛

Monday brunch with homegrown eggs and turkey sausage with Canaan whiskey barrel maple syrup, whole grain bread and turkey bacon. This beer pairs beautifully with the butter drenched French toast! I probably would not like this as much on its own.

Wow, was seriously impressed with how much the syrup and vanilla come through on this! Really well balanced with the sweetness. Plan on buying some backup right away!

Massively heavy. Strong barrel and maple syrup. Super sweet. And very awesome.

Such a rich and beautiful ale! Heavy notes of maple vanilla and a light hint of cinnamon and bourbon. Literally french toast in a glass! Perfect!

Very good. At first the flavor of cinnamon appears a little strong but it does smooth out. The base of this beer Backwoods Bastard really helps the brew.

It tastes like French toast for sure. The right amount of sweetness with maple syrup and cinnamon notes that aren't too overpowered

Wow! The nose is absolutely intoxicating with the maple, cinnamon and vanilla. Taste is superb as well, adding in the barrel notes.

I was a little skeptical about this one. I thought it would be too sweet but it just works. Really drinkable at 11.1% and really tasty.

Like liquid French Toast in a glass! Getting the butter, maple syrup, and the "toast" part. Alcohol is well masked. Only complaint is that it is a touch thin.
