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?

Definitivt smarrig, men oss emellan föredrar jag brorsan med ganska god marginal.

Wow, great cinnamon scent. This is a real dessert beer, spicy with dark dadle marmelade. A bit onesided and intense but at the same time kicking in doors and screaming "Beer o'clock motherfxxker"

Delicious! Probably the strongest maple flavor I've had in a beer with a trailing barrel flavor. I get a bit of a caramel flavor. It is pretty sweet with a hint of bitterness upfront.

The prominence of the French toast & booze elements over the (typically) somewhat cloying taste of Scotch ale is a positive.

A little too sweet, behind the syrup some real good flavor is lurking

Has a weird taste that I think comes from barrel aged. Otherwise, very good!

Smells light French toast. Slightly sweet and ‘syrupy’ but has a slight aftertaste.

For an 11.1% Wee Heavy, this isn't bad. But for a barrel-aged beer, the vanilla, cinnamon and maple overpower any sort of bourbon-barrel flavors.

It says maple syrup, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla, but I smell some other spice on the nose. Could just be the wood from the barrel.

Was expecting so much more, I love regular backwards. This beer is soooooo sweet it overpowers any bourbon notes or any other flavors that I love about reg backwoods.

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.

First time seeing this. A little more maple forward. Not much of the base beer left. Still good.

Sweet maple nose w/ a hint of cinnamon. Big maple up front that is too sweet, even when the cinnamon adds some spice to balance. A little earthy/bitter finish that doesn't quite fit. Overall breakfast in a glass, but the sweetness is too much.

I can't decide if I love this or hate it. Maple flavor is a bit overpowering and a bit on the artificial side.

Almost pastry stout level sweet. Maltier backbone. Moderate bourbon flavors. Mostly French toast.
