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?

Great beer for a chilly day. I haven't had a barrel aged beer in quite some time. This really hits the spot.

Huge maple syrup flavor. Vanilla and cinnamon come through after and then fades into the slight smokiness of the Scottish ale.

Get ready for a barrel of fun to the tastebuds. Saddle up for continuous flavor. Rolling. Cascading. Wow.

Smells awesome, can’t taste any booze (dangerous for 11%), but hoping for a bit more backbone. Still very tasty.

Wow! French toast in a bottle. Vanilla, cinnamon, maple and bread aroma. Boozy vanilla, slightly bitter cinnamon and syrupy bourbon maple taste. Nice!

Creamy head, maple syrup aroma, malty, Scotch ale taste with upfront notes of maple, cinnamon, and vanilla, smooth, meant for sipping, and a warming alcohol finish.

The nose on this is almost as good as the flavor. A wonderful meld of vanilla, maple, bourbon and so good.

This is perfect. French toast sticks and maple syrup on the nose and on the palate, and a little scotch kick at the end. Mouthfeel is a little lacking because it doesn’t have that nice syrupy mouthfeel too it. Rather it has a more carbonated mouthfeel.

Intensely aromatic, rather sweet with a cinnamon much cinnamon for my liking. Really good tho. Expecting it to be a bit thicker/heavier.
