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

Smells like a 4.5, aftertaste has a bitterness that kinda brings it down, bit gets better as it warms up

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

Heavy maple and cinnamon on the nose. First sip and the maple flavor stuck to my tongue. Overall a really good beer

A bit vanilla-heavy, but the aroma is French toast. Taste has much of the same. A bit more vanilla than I remember the mothership release having, but it tastes like bourbon dipped French toast. The body is medium-full with medium-low carbonation. 4.5/5

Smoothed version of backwoods B. Barrel boozy maple sweetness has it all going for it. Nice slow drinker . Good carb lacing & body. Out of the park by founders.

This beer is ridiculous. 11.1% and $15 a 4-pack. That's fantastic and this beer is delicious to boot.

Love these Bastards, especially with heavy bourbon and french toast. Don’t drink much from founders anymore but these are on point

This is really fantastic…the maple dominates but not overly so. Has a bit of a buttery caramel note that’s quite pleasant. Such a damn shame that Founders allowed their success to goto their heads a few years ago and forever tarnished their reputation.

So glad that these are back. Pours a dark brown color with aromas of maple french toast. The mouthfeel is medium with great flavors of maple, cinnamon, and vanilla throughout with a touch of bourbon on the backend. Taste just like maple french toast!

Let it warm and the maple really comes through. Slight cinnamon and carbonation.

Nailed the flavor of maple soaked french toast. So sweet. Half a bottle a night might be my limit

This a tasty variant of Backwoods Bastard, but the base will always be one of my favorite Founders beers, and this doesn't touch the OG, IMO. If interested, The Beer PaTroll YouTube review can be found here: https://youtu.be/rHNcbbdYW9Y

Heavy on the maple makes it a bit hot. Maybe will mellow after sitting for a bit

Years ago, this was a 4.5, but now it’s 4.75. Compared to other French toast beers, this is amazingly accurate. Close your eyes and you might swear it’s actual French Toast.
