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?

Cinnabun stand smells fill the room when opened. Rich vanilla, cinnamon, some chocolate with a bourbon kicker.

First… Scotch Ale isn’t even on my Top ten list of Styles… 2nd… I felt they cheated w the art making me think of Popcorn Sutton, Gandalf, and a fat stack of French toast w too much Maple syrup. It’s amazing.

Decadent indeed. A boozy rich vanilla maple flavor. I would be tempted to drink one daily if I could afford it. It's not just for breakfast anymore.

Not for the faint of heart. Those looking for zero sugar, low-calorie drinks should steer clear.

It's a breakfast/brunch beer, not in an "anytime is breakfast" way.

Of the barrel aged Founders brews this one is now my favorite. Smooth, tasty, well-balanced and smells nice. For an 11% it’s not boozy.

For an 11.1% Wee Heavy, this isn't bad. But for a barrel-aged beer, the vanilla, cinnamon and maple overpower any sort of bourbon-barrel flavors.

Stunning aroma of maple, vanilla, and oak. Taste features cinnamon, maple syrup, damp oak, and bourbon. Finish is rather warm and the illusion of maple syrup lingers. Great as it is now but I anticipate this will improve after laying down in the cellar.

Interesting taster... a fun trip, but nearly cloy. The tasting notes include "Bed Bath and Beyond Holiday Candles Scents" ... definitely French Toast, and then some.

I like the taste, but the Uber-sweetness makes me think I need to down an extra 2 or 3 Jardiance today.

Nah, if you don't like this something wrong with you. I was super excited when I saw this in the store cooler and my only regret is that I didn't get more
