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?

Way too much artificial flavors. The beer behind the flavors is good.

It is what it is. Awesome flavor profile. Waaaaay to over powering for me. But A+ for the effort. The alcohol will crush your soul. Something is out of balance, but it's worth trying.

Looking forward to this one. Now I’m looking forward to finishing this glass. Aroma 9.2, body 6.7, mouthfeel 6.4, taste 6.9? I wanna love it, way too much cinnamon and no where near enough vanilla and bourbon barrel. Better as it warms up to cellar temps.

Great breakfast beer! A bit strong and a bit sweet, it still goes down smooth.

Yikes. That upfront flavor is sharp and unappealing. Like straight clove, but the linger is really nice lol you just gotta take unpleasant flavor for 4-5 seconds and that linger is actually really good haha.

Too much cinnamon. Flavorings don’t work as well with this as with their stouts

Sweetness and cinnamon mar a good ale - dark amber brown with creamy tan head, nice maltiness with a subtle hop and pleasant chew but syrupy sweet and cinnamon bite is a bit sharp and artificial

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
