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 delicious! Tastes like slightly smoky french toast swimming in syrup.

I have had a really hard time smelling beers lately, but the maple comes through strong with this one! It’s much sweeter than Backwoods Bastard, as expected. It’s creamy and boozy. Usually this is a recipe for a 5 from me. But I still prefer the original.

Wow. Not as thick and roasty as you’d find a barrel aged stout to be, but definitely has the warmth of the whiskey from the barrel and holy maple and vanilla. Wonderful winter time beer.

So many things on the nose. Maple, vanilla, hints of butterscotch, an edge of Kailua and ice cream. Taste is like a Maple syrup drenched French toast with vanilla, caramel, and subtle coffee at end. Solid.

This thing is intense. Velvety smooth, a punch of cinnamon & vanilla and plenty of ABV backbone.

Feelin' something brunchy. The cinnamon nose in this is stupid good; a.solid variant, but I still prefer the OG.

Never thought I was a scotch ale fan, I’ve had the backwoods bastard and it’s been ok. This is quite good. The maple syrup smell is huge. The beer is delicious. Founders is a fantastic brewery and this is proof.

Whew! Maple- and vanilla-forward. Great barrel strength. Warm and spiced up with cinnamon. Very sweet and sharp nose. Could go for less cinnamon but this is still very good!

They pretty much nailed the French toast part of this. Great level of maple and cinnamon. Probably overshadows the base just a hair too much! Still…very good.
