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?

Chestnut w/beige foam. Aroma of absolutely butter-&-maple-drenched french toast. Palate hits the nuances of toasty-bready-mapley-buttery warm stacks, w/cinnamon & vanilla within bounds. One of the best 'variants' I've had in a long while.

This tastes like fancy French toast on Christmas morning! Excellent cinnamon, maple & vanilla notes with the bourbon barrel. Paired well with a bacon cheddar cheeseburger with guacamole & maple baked beans.

Had a 4 ounce pour which was good. Really liked it but definitely don’t think could do much more. Would be too sweet.

Way better warmer (ā€œbasementā€ temp). More nuanced flavors come out. Barrel more apparent in the finish. I still think the adjuncts could be dialed back a click, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t the most French Toast-like beer I’ve had. Great aroma, too.

Definitely one of the sweetest French toast styles I’ve had but the bourbon flavor is a wonderful compliment. Gets sweeter with every sip

A little on the sweet side. You can really taste French toast and syrup.

Cinnamon comes in at the end but it’s the maple and vanilla that catches you upfront. Runs lighter than I anticipated not as thick as as others.

Loads of maple. Really good, but nearly too much or too artificial. Paired well with Wake Up Wednesday breakfast for dinner.

Lots of maple on the nose. Cinnamon throughout the sip. Not sure it’s an improvement on the base BB.
