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?

Has a weird taste that I think comes from barrel aged. Otherwise, very good!

A little too sweet, behind the syrup some real good flavor is lurking

Saturday - Had a second. Not my best idea! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really hate the premise here, but the flavor of maple cinnamon and French toast (cereal) is actually spot on and the base is malty and dry and not saccharine sweet. It ends up being a lot more balanced than a pastry stout. Still prefer the base.

The prominence of the French toast & booze elements over the (typically) somewhat cloying taste of Scotch ale is a positive.

Couldn't resist this any longer (breakfast for dinner INDEED!😋). Nose like a plate of french toast. The added cinnamon, vanilla, and maple truly amplify and do not overwhelm. That's a nice feat. Smoooooth, not overly sweet, and utterly enjoyable.

Great after dinner beer. Not too sweet but a little heavy on the cinnamon for my tastes.
