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?

Literally taste like liquid French toast. Maybe a little too sweet but tastes like its namesake.

As advertised. Cinnamon, bready, super sweet. But boozy. Would be better as taster in a flight . Still nice

A tinge of booziness out front trails off into smooth pancake syrup. Vanilla sweetness lingers on the finish. A great sipper on a brisk night.

Mouthwatering nose, it is spot-on French toast. It’s sweet but hits the mark. Barleywine was a great base for this, though not sure how well it’d age given the adjuncts. Delicious desserty nightcap

I try not to judge styles I don’t like too much, but this is somehow sickly sweet and thin with nothing to balance out the sweetness

Fun beer! The maple is intense, vanilla and cinnamon are also there. Seems I should be having this with brunch…

Seems bigger and boozier than a year ago. Wish I had a couple more to age longer.

It’s a good facsimile of French toast, but that makes it a little too extra as a beer. So much maple and much too sweet, with nothing to balance it these flavors.

Very sweet, wouldn't want more than a 10oz pour I think, but this would be a great campfire beer.

This was yummy! The nose was great. Flavor was a bit muted from the vanilla, cinnamon and maple but still tasty. A few hours late check in from my birthday!
