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?

Quite balanced, enjoyable beer. The maple and cinnamon come through nicely and complement the base wee heavy.

Sweet French toast up front with a nice boozy bitterness to even it out. Enjoyed this variant one of my favorites

If I wasn’t iffy on scotch ales, the score would be higher. The maple is so good.

Oof. Yankee Candle autumn flavors. Waxy fake maple flavors and a big vanilla finish. All gimmicky and not tasty.

Very sweet flavors of vanilla and cinnamon and rich. Feels like drinking syrup and is boozy. It's enjoyable but I would not want this over an evening. Might be best to share as a dessert beer.
