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?

Ooof, the butter and vanilla taste are overpowering enough that I feel like I’m chugging some Aunt Jemima.

Yep, that's French toast. Unfortunately way too sweet, to the point it's practically undrinkable.

Love the standard Backwoods Bastard, but the sweet overtone is way too much. Not sure what I'll do with the other 3 bottles. I hope this new release ages well.

This tastes like an alcoholic bottle of maple syrup. I love Backwoods Bastard, but this version is far too sweet for my taste

The maple smell and flavor, while strong, seemed kind of artificial and off putting to me for some reason. Had to pair this with some delicious cinnamon pretzels (thanks Denny) to make it through.

This is like drinking some sort of alcoholic syrup. Vanilla flavor is way too prevalent.
