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?

It smells of maple syrup when you've opened it, but it tastes of heavy cinnamon French Toast. It's amazing.

It's been awhile, but I really like Backwoods Bastard. I'll have to have it again, but I prefer that to this. I need to avoid "French toast" beers. The addition of maple & cinnamon is a bit of a mess. The booze is nice but not redeeming. Thin for a heavy.

Warning: This contains obscene amounts of maple and vanilla. It's not bad, but it has a very... metallic, maybe, aftertaste. I'm real curious about how this will taste after sitting for a few months.

I mean, it's super delicious, but a tad on the sweet side. But it's probably the most drinkable overly-sweet beer I've ever had though. Huge maple syrup flavors. Hit the french toast mark well.

Tons of maple. Maybe too much.

Gave it a 5 last time I had it. Solid brew but just a little thin. Hits all the marks though and is pretty complex.

Clear mahogany with foamy tan-off white head & lacing. Cinnamon-n-maple nose & taste; add vanilla flavor. It really is reminiscent of French toast. There’s bourbon plus smoke from the barrel. It’s a quintessential dessert beer.

Dark and strong roasted coffee and malt flavors with a slightly sweet maple and cinnamon flavor.

Just like French toast in liquid form. Sweet, with strong maple and vanilla flavor, and wonderfully boozy throughout. Outstanding.

Holy smokes the nose alone, breakfast in a glass. Nose even convinced the wifey to try it. If only I could've captured her face when the through n through wee heavy hit her square in the face. Some much FT on the backend. Crafted so well.

Wish I could sit on the new deck! All the flavors huge on the nose, starts strong with cinnamon followed by the maple and an excellent wee heavy finish!
