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?

Founders nailed the flavor profile with their description. She's a dessert sipper.

Tad heavy on the cinnamon and what vanilla I get is more of a vanilla extract than bean which kinda sucks but at least it has a good maple finish

Oh yeah. I really like Scotch Ales. Some of my beer friends don't, so they may not be as big of a fan as me. Lots of maple, cinnamon, and vanilla. A bit on the sweet side. I hope to share the next one.

Sweet maple syrup, butter scotch, nice grain and coffee character with nice bitters and boozie on the finish. 4.2/5

It’s got some kick to it, but it’s very sweet and buttery.

Super sweet. Dangerously deceptive at 11.1% ABV. Tastes like a bite of Red Apple diner French toast….with a shot of bourbon in the syrup. Well done fellas.

The cinnamon and maple combined with the malty scotch ale give it more of a dirty chai taste than bourbon vanilla French toast. Prickly mouthfeel isn’t great either. Finish is maple all the way. Not bad, just a bit muddled for the price point.

Maple and cinnamon nose, w, a body of maple, warming cinnamon, and light vanilla. Finishes lightly sweet, w/ great maple and cinnamon flavor. Outstanding! Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Smells like French toast. Tastes like I should dip my French toast in it. But lighter, not syrupy.

Lots of maple on the nose. Cinnamon throughout the sip. Not sure it’s an improvement on the base BB.
