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?

Thus tastes great as is, but I could see this getting better as it warms.

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!

Liquid french toast with just a hint of Scotch Ale in the finish...only because I know it's there. Pushes my limits for what I want in a beer, but still tasty. Splitting a bottle is probably ideal for me.

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.

Tried this last night. An odd burnt coffee taste just took over the other flavors. Got a little better as the beer warmed, but still wouldn't try it again.

Nailed the french toast flavor. Very maply at first, more tolerable later. Cinnamon for sure! Vanilla and barrel flavors are more subtle. Definitely an interesting one-off, but I don't think I will buy it again.

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 😛

Man, this is such a good beer. It really does taste so much like French toast. Buttery somehow and maple syrupy. So creamy too.

I could pour this on my pancakes. Dominating maple flavor makes this sucker taste like bourbon syrup.

Boozy French toast nose, I don’t know how they do don’t, but it literally tastes like liquid French toast soaked bready, eggy, cinnamon, cinnamon raisin bun Warming malty sweetness

Vanilla cinnamon and maple all come thru really strong in the first sip. This is borderline pastry scotch ale. 🤪 barrel is subtle and oak laden, but with a spicy kick.

2 Scotch Ales in 1 night. This one is barrel aged with maple and cinnamon. Tastes like cake. I've never seen this before and I'm so glad I picked it up. Saving the others from the pack for the Holidays.

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.
