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?

Liquid French toast. Barrel is very minimal, light body, cinnamon and vanilla very prevalent, lots of maple in the nose.

Maple maple and more maple. A waste to put in scotch barrels.

Glad to finally try this one! I didn't get it during the Mothership Series release. It's a dessert beer for sure, although it is fairly balanced. Maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon bomb! 🍻

It'll slap you around if you're not careful. Well done with a solid flavor

Scotch Ales aren’t my fav, including Dirty & Backwoods Bastards. But I still had to try this. Love the cinnamon & vanilla + the barrel vibes. I can tell this is great, but the flat, sticky sweet malt bomb beneath the gimmick just doesn’t do it for me.

Solid. Smells like French toast. Strong cinnamon, maple, and vanilla throughout.

Lots of burnt sugar and a bit of maple and cinnamon. Might like the original better but this is tasty

Aroma is sweet, cinnamon and vanilla. Taste is vanilla and cinnamon dominant. ABV is well hidden by layers of flavor. Dry finish with lingering cinnamon.

Founders never seems to fail.. this barrel aged Scotch Ale is like French toast in liquid form. The maple trails at the backend and you pick up the subtle vanilla and cinnamon notes. Definitely boozy and very sweet (syrupy)..a sipper. Worthy of a try

Wonderful. Delicious. Like tossing syrup and French toast into a blender and drinking it. Really nailed the vanilla-maple balance. I swear it’s that vanilla powder in it.
