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?

Front end is a mess but quickly switches to buttery maple syrup. Remember Waffle Crisp cereal? Let the carving begin!

BOOM! This guys is flavor packed! Fantastic beer. Sweet vanilla is right on top followed by a nice hint of maple. Aftertaste lingers wonderfully.

Dark brown amber pour. Sweet maple syrup aroma and taste. Breakfast beer. Tastes like a stack of French toast sticks.

Very sweet as expected, but there is the scotch ale, with cinnamon in the middle, that helps it with a dry clean finish.

This is a weird one! Indeed, tastes like a liquid pancake (or French toast, I suppose). I generally like it, but it also seems artificial, at least in the way all the (really strong) flavors come together. Is it the maple? Cinnamon? Interesting for sure.

2022 - Far cry from the Mothership batch. Founders is putting flavor extracts in everything now and it's not a good thing. Strong adjuncts capturing somewhat of a savory French Toast flavor but its very artificial tasting

Soooo glad Founders did a national release. A robust maple cinnamon and vanilla bomb bourbon barrel aged. Perfect for cool fall nights.
