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?

Lots of maple flavor up front but finishes with a lingering bitterness.

I have had a really hard time smelling beers lately, but the maple comes through strong with this one! It’s much sweeter than Backwoods Bastard, as expected. It’s creamy and boozy. Usually this is a recipe for a 5 from me. But I still prefer the original.

What to say. I love Founders Backwoods Bastard. I love a pancake loaded with syrup and cinnamon can be fun too. Not sure I want it all in my Backwoods Bastard, but it is tasty nonetheless. The Big Guy.

Basically a maple syrup beer. Fantastic but 5 oz is all I will need. Smells and tastes of maple syrup.

So much maple and cinnamon. Definitely reminiscent of a sweet syrup-soaked French toast. While it's unique and a bit bizarre (in a fun way) I can't see drinking more than one of these. And it's getting difficult to finish even 12 Oz. Way too sweet for me.

Wild Founders... Tastes like breakfast had a one night stand with a Guinness and had this bastard love child of a beer. The 11% is tucked well. This brew is syrupy and heavy...I'd drink it with waffles any morning. World Cup with KOLL!! APD Life
