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?

Deliciously syrupy. Heavy notes of toasty malt and maple syrupy bourbon. Maybe a bit rich but a thoroughly enjoyable draught

This is the most mapley beer I’ve ever had. The high sweetness covers the 11% ABV. Decent, but you have to be in the mood for sweet

Nice view of the city from The Top rooftop and nice night. Tastes just like it sounds - quite a departure from Dirty or Backwoods, but blend well.

Maybe skewed by the 10/10 food but really liked this. Probably even better if it could warm/open a little.

A VERY sweet Scotch Ale. Complex and with strong nose of maple, then the flavors build. Malty, maple, vanilla and quite the kilt flipper at 11.1%. The pride of michigan. Go Blue!

Hold the front door! My first was good but this is amazing tonight! Maple forward but now I get cinnamon on the back end. And vanilla to boot! Holy shit this is better! This is literally breakfast in a glass!
