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?

To borrow from Tommy Boy, Holy Schnikes! This is SO similar to real FT! Loads of maple syrup, copious amts of cinnamon, and I'm sure vanilla is in there somewhere, but this was a great finisher. Founders crushed this one!

So good, great liquid French toast. The smell is perfect buttery cinnamon French toast. The taste is perfect roasted malts and maple. I enjoy this very much!

Now this is how you end a weekend. A great balance of bourbon, maple syrup and vanilla with a kiss of cinnamon. Sweet and slightly boozy. Definitely a sipper.

From start to finish, this perfectly hits the “breakfast in a glass” tastes and hides that ABV very well. May be too sweet for some 😏

So glad this is still on tap, its definitely a one and done because it's so sweet but I have to question Founders as to why they nailed the maple here and the last cbs was so non-maple.

🎉🎉Beer 1000! 🎉🎉 This bottle was an extra in a recent trade and I completely underestimated/overlooked it. I was going to use it in a recipe until I tried it. WOW. Sometimes old, no-hype beers can be unexpected knockouts. I enjoyed this more than KBBS

Masser af carasødme, men uden at det tager overhånd. Alko 100% maskeret. Lang eftersmag. Super lækker bajet.

This is THE BEST smelling beer I've ever had! The bourbon aftertaste reminds me of stouts with a proportional cost of EUR/ABV. However, this is much more delicious! I'll forever remember the taste of cinnamon, burnt sugar, rum, bourbon and maple syrup!
