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?

Very sweet, wouldn't want more than a 10oz pour I think, but this would be a great campfire beer.

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.

Seems bigger and boozier than a year ago. Wish I had a couple more to age longer.

Maple is very sweet, but good flavor. Cinnamon is subtle

Fun beer! The maple is intense, vanilla and cinnamon are also there. Seems I should be having this with brunch…

I try not to judge styles I don’t like too much, but this is somehow sickly sweet and thin with nothing to balance out the sweetness

Mouthwatering nose, it is spot-on French toast. It’s sweet but hits the mark. Barleywine was a great base for this, though not sure how well it’d age given the adjuncts. Delicious desserty nightcap

Literally like French Toast with Maple Syrup but still has that malty rich full body flavor in the background…excellent stuff

A tinge of booziness out front trails off into smooth pancake syrup. Vanilla sweetness lingers on the finish. A great sipper on a brisk night.

Literally taste like liquid French toast. Maybe a little too sweet but tastes like its namesake.
