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?

Aroma & flavor of French Toast for sure. Thought it was gonna be a sugar bomb, but it’s not.

Aroma is French Toast, taste is French Toast. Aging is BB is a plus.

I'm mixed on this, but I'll give it a 4. One issue I have is that, to me, it doesn't seem to have enough body or but enough sugars but I also am drinking this after a heavy barleywine so I'll try it again to make sure.

Intensely aromatic, rather sweet with a cinnamon much cinnamon for my liking. Really good tho. Expecting it to be a bit thicker/heavier.

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.

Wow! French toast in a bottle. Vanilla, cinnamon, maple and bread aroma. Boozy vanilla, slightly bitter cinnamon and syrupy bourbon maple taste. Nice!

Smells awesome, can’t taste any booze (dangerous for 11%), but hoping for a bit more backbone. Still very tasty.

Great beer for a chilly day. I haven't had a barrel aged beer in quite some time. This really hits the spot.
