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?

Strong aromas of maple, cinnamon and bourbon. Taste is quite sweet, almost cloying. Very much French toast as advertised but the maple is overwhelming and there’s not enough hops or tartness to balance the sweetness. Disappointing.

Wow, this is such an easy drinker for what it is! Very smooth, sweet, and rather light. Super vanilla, cinnamon and maple flavors.

SUPER SWEET. Does taste like make syrup and cinnamon. Definitely a sipper as it's very heavy.

It is what it is. Awesome flavor profile. Waaaaay to over powering for me. But A+ for the effort. The alcohol will crush your soul. Something is out of balance, but it's worth trying.

Taste is sweet - cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, some date and caramel - does evoke maple French toast - there is a bit of bourbon, oak and some herbal hop bitterness of the base beer. Medium full sweet mouthfeel with a smooth syrupy bready finish.

Delicious brunch beer for this Friday the 13th! Love the vanilla and cinnamon. I do wish there was more barrel character but I'm really here for the French toast flavors and on that it delivers.
