French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022)

Scottish Ale

Backwards Bastard gets the full fledged breakfast treatment! Our malty and rich bourbon barrel-aged scotch ale is introduced to the essence of smooth Maple, warm cinnamon, and notes of sweet vanilla for an incredibly decadent brunch inspired sipper. One taste and you'd swear you were digging into your Sunday morning french toast. Breakfast for dinner anyone? What is something off my bottle

I love Dirty, Backwoods, and 2019 French Toast Bastard. This isnt even close to 2019. This smells and tastes like it was made from bad extract. Cant believe Founders put their name on it.

This was not good. Way too sweet, maple is overpowering. Tastes like bad French toast in overly maple syrup

Love the label but thats about it. Not a scotch fan, not a maple fan and its very mapley. 🤢

Imagine a French Toast dripping with the strongest, sweetest Maple syrup, slathered with butter and honey. Way too sweet. I finished it, but only because I'm ornery that way. The other three bottles, however, will probably be given away.

Wow. I probably drink Backwoods Bastard more than any other beer. Was hoping for a faint overlay of maple/cinnamon on one of my favorites. Way, way, way too sweet. The syrup is overpowering. I don't even get a faint hint of the beer.

Gimmicky. Tastes like French Toast Crunch cereal from the early 90s.

Awful, extremely artificial and hard to drink and didn't. Quite gross and not enjoyable.

The flavors are nice, but I really don't like the bourbon barrel aged beers. They're too boozy and all I taste is the burning booze. The vanilla and maple are nice. So if you like those high ABV boozy beers you will like this!

Like snorting French toast off a hookers ass. It’s sweet but a bit much. Definitely tastes just like French toast. No beer flavor at all

Pumpkin night at the neighbors last night, one of the few drinks or food w/o pumpkin flavor was this beer- maple and cinnamon flavors but a bit bitter. Taste didn't improve even after letting it sit for a bit. Still a decent barrel aged stout.💪🏽🥴
