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?

Think I got a bad batch because it was probably the worst beer I’ve had from Founders!

Tastes more like artificial chemicals than I remember. I really liked it last year, but this year I would struggle to get drink a glass of this.

Flavor-wise it's delicious but SO freaking sweet it's almost undrinkable. Would be great in a cold brew coffee or as a syrup on waffles 😂

Maple syrup overpowers the beer entirely , but I guess that’s what the folks want.

Flavors are muddled, maple is too prominent, overall cloying and sweet

Yep, that's French toast. Unfortunately way too sweet, to the point it's practically undrinkable.

Love the standard Backwoods Bastard, but the sweet overtone is way too much. Not sure what I'll do with the other 3 bottles. I hope this new release ages well.
