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?

All maple syrup on the nose, overwhelmingly so. Opens with a flatter, lightly sweet, bitter profile that’s got some wood and bourbon. Off putting at first as it contrasts with the smell, but it does settle into a sweet buttery finish. Pretty good beer.

Good variant but the maple is maybe a little artificial.

Black and sweet just like French Toast! Vanilla and maple syrup and even confectioner’s sugar taste comes through big time.

SO MUCH FLAVOR, yes all caps is necessary. If you love French toast and want to drink it then this is the beer for you. It is well balanced flavors, there’s just too much flavor for me. Well done brewers!

Like finding a flower in the snow. But the flower is made of waffles 🧇 and the snow smells like maple syrup and pure bliss
