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?

As advertised. Cinnamon, bready, super sweet. But boozy. Would be better as taster in a flight . Still nice

It’s a good facsimile of French toast, but that makes it a little too extra as a beer. So much maple and much too sweet, with nothing to balance it these flavors.

While tasty, it's awfully sweet, and obliterates all the complexion and flavor that Backwoods Bastard provides. Worth it as a taster, would not be good as a full poor.

Dark and pretty sweet. A little heavy on the cinnamon but a nice nitecap. Thanks Pat.

Does not improve on the underlying beer. A bit sweet for my taste. Flavors are fine.

Pure maple, like bottling time at the super shack. I find that the sweetness mellows a bit as it warms, making this brew more palatable.

Decadent, strong, and thick. Syrupy maple flavor. A little bit buttery too I think. Good stuff. I'm glad I tried it.

Not as overwhelming as you would think for an 11%. But just right to get me where I need to be to be a trivia hype person

Sweet, sweet, and more sweet! I so wanted to like it but felt as though I was drinking pure maple syrup.

The only thing I can figure is I can’t get past the flavor of the triple dog brown I just had. This wee heavy is dark and roasty, but not overly sweet. No real syrup flavor either. A but if cinnamon but I expected a lot more from a founders brew.

This is pretty good. Sweet. It's sweet. It's mapley and good and sweet. I'm not usually a maple fan, but this is good. Can't really taste the bourbon barrel.

Lönnsirap, ljus sirap, melass och toffe. Alldeles för söt. Farinsocker. Kanel också?

Tung öl att sippa en vinterkväll, värmer fint. Tydliga ektoner, vanilj, någon slags nougatsötma i doften. Kanelen kan anas som en slags hetta som blir mest framträdande i eftersmaken.

Vete fan om den inte var lite för söt? Om det nu är möjligt? Gräddig mer än knäckig. Oklart var French Toast kommer in?
