French Toast Bastard (2019)

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?

Look at me checking in a beer! My taste buds are born again #virgin. Sweet. French toasty. And BURBON! An 11% too? Someone is getting lucky (if I don’t fall asleep).

Cinnamon, baked fig, maple syrup, umami, vanilla, Cedar aromas, mbroad body, mhigh carb, plenty, dry cinnamon, earth, then maple galore, cough syrup, vanilla, leaves flavours. Fun ride that's only giving 'unbearable toothache' a swift side glance

Tastes exactly like french toast with maple syrup. Sweet, but not overly so. Hint of cinnamon. Combine with a good coffee stout and you would have a great (liquid) breakfast.

Duft af sirup og lidt stout, lidt tynd smag af stout med næsten brændende sirup-sødme, tynd men lang eftersmag af samme.

Yes, tastes just it says - roasty with sweet flavours of maple and vanilla. Also malty and excessively boozy. Okay, but really too malty and sweet to really hit the “sweet spot” for me. Not something I could drink a whole bottle of.

Intense. Drenched maple syrup. Way too sweet at first, but some hop and malt nuances recovered my attention along the way. Thx Martin S.

(Second from left) - French toast in a glass, with rich maple flavors and caramel, burnt sugar, and toasty notes of coffee and cocoa.

Smells like a warm stack of French Toast covered in make syrup. Luckily, the actual flavor isn't as intense and overpowering. You can actually taste the different notes of cinnamon, maple, biscuit, vanilla. It's good.

19-11-15 Vtg, ~1yr,2.5mo/o. Rich cinnamon, toasted brown sugar, and notes of bitter vanilla extract. Notes of pan-fried dough and cocoa. Yum.
