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?

Superb. Smells exactly like French toast. Tastes exactly like French toast. A tad of bitter hop flavor on the back end. Really yummy.

A bit too much breakfast and not enough booze for me, but enjoyable nightcap. Thanks, AC.

I love me some Backwoods Bastard, and maple syrup. The cinnamon, tree bark....tone down the fucking cinnamon. It's too much in this guy...takes me out of it. Good idea, bad execution IMO.

This is straight French toast in a glass. The nose is on point, the taste is absurd. BUT, why vanilla and maple extracts? Why not aged on vanilla beans in maple bourbon barrels 🧐? Still very tasty.

P: light honey brown, mod foam. S: wow, maple syrup 100%! Brown sugar. Med body, dryer. T: maple syrup to the face! Sweetness is there upfront but leave quickly to dryness. Not thick enough to stick but nice while it’s there. A nice sipper.

Yep, tastes like you dipped French toast in a bourbon-barrel-aged scotch ale, then drizzled it with maple syrup. Yowza.

A very deceptive 11%. Super flavorful and one of the few super strong ABV beers where I would gladly have a second one.

If I liked French toast better, better rating. If you like French toast, this is for you.
