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?

Very dark and has a consistency of syrup. Has strong maple and vanilla flavor that works much better than one would think

Want to love it because it smells like maple candy but it is very sweet.

Meget sød. Smager som en omgang sirup. Men stadigvæk et meget godt glas øl, dog rigtig tungt.

Backwoods Bastard is the winner here I think. Maybe I got the bottom of the barrel.

Interesting taster... a fun trip, but nearly cloy. The tasting notes include "Bed Bath and Beyond Holiday Candles Scents" ... definitely French Toast, and then some.

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

Ugh. Why do brewers do this. Maple is WAY too intense! I can't taste the base beer anymore. Bourbon is almost undetectable. I keep trying alt versions of my fav beers hoping for SUBTLE added flavors. But it rarely happens. Not BAD, but could be better.

A bit too far in the ‘French Toast’ direction, but quite a unique beer in it of itself!

It's been awhile, but I really like Backwoods Bastard. I'll have to have it again, but I prefer that to this. I need to avoid "French toast" beers. The addition of maple & cinnamon is a bit of a mess. The booze is nice but not redeeming. Thin for a heavy.

Huge maple syrup flavor. A little cinnamon and vinalla on the back end. Honestly a lot sweeter than I anticipated.
