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?

This is, IMNSHO, not an improvement on Backwoods Bastard, which use pretty neat perfect. Cloyingly sweet, and overpowers the flavor of a food beer.

Maple syrup overpowers the beer entirely , but I guess that’s what the folks want.

Flavors are muddled, maple is too prominent, overall cloying and sweet

Think I got a bad batch because it was probably the worst beer I’ve had from Founders!

Tastes more like artificial chemicals than I remember. I really liked it last year, but this year I would struggle to get drink a glass of this.

Flavor-wise it's delicious but SO freaking sweet it's almost undrinkable. Would be great in a cold brew coffee or as a syrup on waffles 😂
