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?

Was expecting so much more, I love regular backwards. This beer is soooooo sweet it overpowers any bourbon notes or any other flavors that I love about reg backwoods.

Not as good as I expected. Smells better than it tastes. I definitely tasted the vanilla on my first sip and some maple too. I think the cinnamon takes over as the beer warms. I don’t think cinnamon and a scotch ale work.

First time seeing this. A little more maple forward. Not much of the base beer left. Still good.

Sweet maple nose w/ a hint of cinnamon. Big maple up front that is too sweet, even when the cinnamon adds some spice to balance. A little earthy/bitter finish that doesn't quite fit. Overall breakfast in a glass, but the sweetness is too much.

I can't decide if I love this or hate it. Maple flavor is a bit overpowering and a bit on the artificial side.

Almost pastry stout level sweet. Maltier backbone. Moderate bourbon flavors. Mostly French toast.

It hits the flavors it’s going for, but doesn’t hold a candle to Backwoods

Quite balanced, enjoyable beer. The maple and cinnamon come through nicely and complement the base wee heavy.

Jay's Beer Review

The backwood bastard is one of my favorite beers. How would this fair. Very boozy and a bit of heat (maybe the cinnamon). Lots of maple. Not getting vanilla. This would be a great early drinking beer in the cold. Like a tailgate beer. Does taste like FT.

Good but the cinnamon is a little too overpowering. The aroma is absolutely amazing!

Didn’t know what to expect but it’s a pretty good beer after a bit! I will say it’s a bit strong.

Sweet and rich maple, vanilla, and cinnamon aromas and flavors. The bourbon barrel aged character is very subtle. Definitely a dessert beer.

Smells and tastes exactly as advertised. Syrupy. Maple tones were very strong.
