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?

Easily a top 5 barrel aged release from Founders. Maybe my 2nd favorite after KBS MMF.

Not a fan. Too sweet. Probably the worst Founders I've ever had.

I hate scotch ale but the combination with the awesome French toast flavors balance it perfectly. Love the maple and really does taste like French toast. To the top with a bullet.

Crazy how much this tastes like cinnamon french toast. Not sure how it could be considered a scotch ale at this point but whatever, it's delicious if not a little unrefined and leaving depth and sophistication.

I debated going all the way to a 5. So insanely good. Thanks to some friendly gifters I've got a few more to continue the internal debate with. That brings me up to the here and now minus the Christmas share which I was happy to enjoy without rating.

Can a beer be to sweet. This might be the closest to syrup a beer has been. Really sweet and really strong.

I expected an extremely sweet beer soon rather enjoyed splitting a bottle. Not sure I’d want to drink a whole bottle but tasty!
