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?

Founders nails it again. The maple butter french toast flavor sits heavily upon the bourbon saturated Scotch Heavy ale. What a flavor bomb

Tastes exactly how it sounds: a cinnamon breaded, maple syrup infused amalgam of deliciousness. I swear I can even taste the fried egg part of the French toast too. The bourbon is super subtle & smooth. And the vanilla gives a creamy goodness

Man, this is such a good beer. It really does taste so much like French toast. Buttery somehow and maple syrupy. So creamy too.

From this weekend finale! Simply put, this smells like French toast. Tastes like French toast with cinnamon, maple & vanilla with subtle notes of toffee, cherry, bourbon & oak. Phenomenal!

WOW! Aroma of a maple bar, then the cinnamon kicks in when you sip it. Might be the best Founders beer I have ever had. This place has 50 taps, and every one is a keeper.

You know that last forkful of pancakes, that is almost more of a spoonful? Crumbs and dregs, gooey with hints of maple and even sausage? This.

Alcohol level aside, my husband and I are in love. When my friend let me sample it, I raised my hands and praised the Lord. Please shake the brewer's hand for us if you go to this brewery.

Coming up 3rd on this evening’s list; perhaps the best Bastard of ‘em all! The “French Toast” aromas are intoxicating! Drinks extra smooth with rich maple, cinnamon, & nutmeg flavours that are complimented by sweet oaky vanilla bourbon undertones.
