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?

Can taste every note they state on the label. Really impressive and one of the better beers I’ve had to date. Well done

Sharpening chisels, so this is an after-work treat. Served at 65f. WOW! Rich and luscious. Sweet without being cloying. Long vanilla note at the end. Brown sugar sweet malts. A nice lingering bitter to balance. Beautiful brown and clear. REPEAT!!!

Definitely a "sipper" but OMG...serve it at room temp and enjoy a bounty of sweetness and flavor. Impressed with this when I tried it in Founders Grand Rapids, MI tasting room @ Oct '22 and this bottled offering is just as good.

It really does have a Maple syrupy start and a Buttery sweetness, which hides any alcohol burn TOO well...

Excellent dessert-only beer. Cinnamon, maple, and bourbon dominate this beer, and it’s boozy and sweet. Really want to try this in an ice cream float.

Sweet dessert stout flavor wit lots of vanilla and a hint of vanilla to go with caramel brown sugar malt flavor. More drinkable than expected. Definitely a one and done- enjoyable to sip.

This 11.1% vanilla cinnamon maple bourbon barrel aged scotch ale (whew, that's a lot!) is a creamy treat. This would be great around a fire on a cool evening.

I love the base, and this variant is very nicely done. Pure French toast with syrup on the nose, and a beautiful Wee Heavy with maple, vanilla, and a light touch of cinnamon that increases on warming. 2023 version.
