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?

Smells and tastes like decadent French Toast; syrup taste is great in this!

This is a wonder of maple brown sugary goodness and yes a touch of egg-like and breadiness which helps nail the French toast similarity. No alcohol burn, but the finish has a slight flat coke caramel, that I donโ€™t care for

God Damn! Tastes EXACTLY like a mouthful of french toast covered in grade-A Vermont maple syrup. No hint of the 11% ABV.

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.

(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.
