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?

Good but the cinnamon is a little too overpowering. The aroma is absolutely amazing!

Didn’t know what to expect but it’s a pretty good beer after a bit! I will say it’s a bit strong.

Chestnut w/beige foam. Aroma of absolutely butter-&-maple-drenched french toast. Palate hits the nuances of toasty-bready-mapley-buttery warm stacks, w/cinnamon & vanilla within bounds. One of the best 'variants' I've had in a long while.

Sweet and rich maple, vanilla, and cinnamon aromas and flavors. The bourbon barrel aged character is very subtle. Definitely a dessert beer.

This may be the strangest beer I've ever had, it really does leave a French toast aftertaste.

A combination of Three flavors not made for a Scottish ale are present. Cinnamon, maple, and vanilla. I was really hoping they would work together. They don’t. Mix these flavors on waffles. Not in an ale.

Maple, cinnamon made for a brunch; pour it on your French toast

One of my favorites beers of all-time given the breakfast treatment with sweet flavors of maple and cinnamon. 11.1% ABV. Happy Sunday! 🍺

Sorry—not my favorite Bastard: can’t taste (or smell) any “barrel”! A tad cinnamon-burned for me.

Smells and tastes exactly as advertised. Syrupy. Maple tones were very strong.

This tastes like fancy French toast on Christmas morning! Excellent cinnamon, maple & vanilla notes with the bourbon barrel. Paired well with a bacon cheddar cheeseburger with guacamole & maple baked beans.

This is such a brilliant beer. Absolutely pinpointed the French toast profile. At 11.1%, it is somehow not boozy or overly sweet.

This is good and need to revisit another bottle, maybe a little warmer. A lot of flavor and very adjunct forward. Wouldn’t mind some more barrel and base beer coming through, though it’s not sickeningly sweet either.

Perhaps a tad sweet. Needs to be more room temp to get full flavor. Malty underneath

Flavors are muddled, maple is too prominent, overall cloying and sweet
