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?

Would have been better with less maple. But I get it, that was the point.

Good overall. Not as dark or smooth as I hoped and a bit too sweet.

Not overbearing, can still tell it's a beer! But expertly crafted to give the flavor and aroma of cinnamon French toast. Nice

Wow, this was great. A little boozy, as it should be for 11.1% ABV. Lovely maple syrup French toast flavor.

Syrup. A little vanilla. That's all i get. I might try this one cold, i thought it might be better at room temperature but maybe not. As it is I don't love it

Tons of mapleine-esque flavor. Not bad by any means, but a let down from what I had hoped.

It says maple syrup, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla, but I smell some other spice on the nose. Could just be the wood from the barrel.

Soooo glad Founders did a national release. A robust maple cinnamon and vanilla bomb bourbon barrel aged. Perfect for cool fall nights.
