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?

Advent beer #6. I loved this one. Right out of the bottle I could smell a sweet, Carmel or butterscotch aroma. Loved the taste of cinnamon:). My favorite so far :)

Another solid Founders barrel aged beer. However, the French toast is a little too roasty for my taste. My friends loved it!

All adjuncts present and poppin! I enjoy sweet pastry beers, but this is a tad too sweet even for me. That said, still delicious. A cool take on a classic BA wee heavy.

This is good, but overly maple dominant

Nose knocks you back. Thankfully the heavy sweetness is cut with a mild bitterness. I think it'll be cool to see how this one ages.

The maple and cinnamon take over and become annoying. Sounds like it ought to be great, but it doesn't work for me, just seems harshly sweet.

Good beer to hang the last of the outside decos. Just warm enough to hang outside. Any day in December that breaks 40 I’m down with. Cheers to Pearl Harbor day. Never forgetting πŸ’£πŸ’£πŸοΈ

Really strong maple syrup. Sweet with alcohol warming. Vanilla comes through in the finish. Tastes a little like french toast, but honestly more like bourbon with the boozyness. Great beer for a cold winter night.

The initial drink is slightly boozy, but the finish has the delightful taste of syrup, cinnamon and hints of a chocolate. The real money of this beer is in the finish as it sits in your mouth. Really thin for a stout and super smooth.

Tone

Great twist on a classic brew! This literally tastes like I jus forked a piece of syrup covered French Toast. I get the cinnamon, the maple, the bread and vanilla. Even those it's a little boozy, I do like it's still thin. Really really delicious.
