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?

Ooof, the butter and vanilla taste are overpowering enough that I feel like I’m chugging some Aunt Jemima.

Dufter og smager som labrelager. Det er sådan en øl der egentlig smager fint, men alligevel ikke. Det var sgu en lidt underlig en. Jeg tror at jeg er mere til at spise labre larven end drikke dem.

Nose: maple, biscuity 🍁 🍪 Taste: boozy, roasted, Finish: bitter dark mocha Overall: I loved the 2019 variety and was looking forward to this, but wasn't so much to my taste.

Oof. Yankee Candle autumn flavors. Waxy fake maple flavors and a big vanilla finish. All gimmicky and not tasty.

Ridiculous amount of extracts in this beer. It tastes like synthetic French toast. Everything is amped up and punches you in the face (or mouth) in a bad way.

This may be the strangest beer I've ever had, it really does leave a French toast aftertaste.

Maple syrup aroma punches you in the face. Dark pecan roasted smell. Thicker body, frothy. Not nearly as sweet as it smells. Dark, some maple flavoring. Can’t put my finger on it but it just feels off. Leaves something to be desired and misses it for me.

Why too much, taste like cinnamon syrup. Better poured on your toast than drinking:

A lot going on here. Really, it's almost too much. For me, the added vanilla and the barrel influence puts it over the top; I'll stick to the regular backwoods bastard.

Exactly as advertised but has an artificial maple flavor - if I'm wrong, then I'll admit it, but that's just what I'm tasting
