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?

Always love the light maple flavor in these attempts. Very good. Rich. Not too sweet.

Juuuust a tad too sweet, but everything from the traditional weekend breakfast plate is there. Perhaps a touch of lactose in future offerings to dull the sweetness a bit & represent the glass of milk required to wash this breakfast treat down with…?!?

Oh man. Absolute maple blast. Clean and unadulterated. Medium/medium-light bodied. Woody/oak bourbon note in the way back. Delightful!

Would be a lot better without the maple

Not as good as I expected. Smells better than it tastes. I definitely tasted the vanilla on my first sip and some maple too. I think the cinnamon takes over as the beer warms. I don’t think cinnamon and a scotch ale work.

Super good. This little gas station has a phenomenal beer selection. Barrel aged dark star, Bourbon County varietals and even Great Notion.

Really enjoyed this. Adjuncts are well balanced, but not much barrel. Bears no resemblance to the OG Bastard (which is way better) but still a good beer.

I love Founders, French toast and Scotch ales- so how could I not love this? Super rich and boozy, sweet but not cloying, full of flavors of buttery maple, burnt caramel, vanilla and cinnamon. It's only not a 5 because the bourbon notes complicate a bit.

Plenty of maple and cinnamon. Full flavor and little boozy. Desert beer, of course

Absolutely fantastic. Rich tastes of maple syrup and vanilla come through strong, accented by notes of warm cinnamon. Way better than I expected. Strongly recommend.

This is a super sweet maple syrup bomb. Can't even taste the scotch ale in the backdrop. Definitely masks the ABV.
