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?

Beer #adventcalendar Day 10 wow, barrel character in the nose, the maple sneaks up on you and then lingers like the burn from a habanero. The spices are well balanced with the barrel character. Wow.

Sure, Not

Pkg 8.23.23 maple and vanilla bomb! It’s all there and SO good for the intended recipe. Barrel is buried in sugar, a lil cinnamon and only appears to lighten the finish up - which the fine line that makes this special.

They named it right. Even with my eyes closed I'd get French toast, including the butter and syrup. 11% ABV earns JBF. Only downside is it's super sweet.

Genuinely unbelievable how good this beer is. Massive French toast taste and not overly boozy for 11 percent. Holy shit this is good. I’m drunk. Damn. This shits insane X

S - strong maple syrup w/ cinamon, vanilla & bourbon just peaking through - smells like a great breakfast! Taste is cinamon, rich maple syrup, vanilla before ending with that boozy, bba, bourbon taste you expect. Best Maple beer - an absolute delight

Heavy, sweet maple syrup. A little cinnamon makes it French toasty. Slight warmth from the 11%. Thanks Tommy.

Beer Advent Day #10. It is VERY sweet but also 11% alc. Also funny as my go-to non-swearing phrase is “What the French Toast?!?”

MAPLE!!! Wow. I don't know when I last had a beer that was *this* maple forward. Like drinking boozy syrup...and I mean that in a good way (although I'm sure this is way too much maple for a lot of folks.
