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?

Light and pillowy maple syrup turned into beer. The high ABV is completely undetectable, making this a very dangerous beer. Cinnamon is in the background. I think the best I have had of this style.

I like pancakes for dinner. This maple syrup plume billows across a room. It’s radiant. The palate screams breakfast and coffee. At least the combo of sweet and bitter. Hint of vanilla and I guess cinnamon pop out if you wish it. Finishes long. Cheers!

Right off the bat… huge maple notes on the nose with some cinnamon notes. On the palate it tastes like French toast!

Huge maple syrup flavor. A little cinnamon and vinalla on the back end. Honestly a lot sweeter than I anticipated.

A little too heavy on the syrup. But still good. Better after warming a bit in the glass.

Maple, if it was thicker I’d pour it over my pancakes, a Great thirst quencher, but this is a one and done. But I’m glad I have a few more in the fridge, I’d buy it again.

Sweet maple, thin watery body, easy to drink. Translation: dangerous.

Happy birthday Hazel and Sam K.! Creamy head, maple syrup aroma, malty, Scotch ale taste with upfront notes of maple, cinnamon, and vanilla, smooth, meant for sipping, and a warming alcohol finish. Thanks Sam P. Just the thing for my sore throat…

The cinnamon perfectly enhances the maple. Barely perceptible. This is a great beer.
