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

This is a tasty version of Backwoods Bastard, which has a maple syrup backbone. Nice, but a bit too much cinnamon is bringing it down a notch.

It does remind me of French toast, which is of course the best breakfast

After quarter life it's a bit underwhelming but still tasty.

Interesting variant. Bourbon base still there - notes of caramel present. finish loses dark fruits in favor of maple sweet / vanilla / hint cinnamon. It flows well good strength clean and is unique - French toast scottish ale. Don’t think it’ll age well

Heavy on the cinnamon, but pretty much French toast in a bottle.

Damn. Maple syrup on the nose but not overpowering. Mouthfeel a lot of cinnamon but Then back to maple syrup on the finish with slight vanilla. Not overly sweet.

Very decadent and sweet. I like it but it sits so heavy.

When this first appeared, it was a keg only brew. I'm happy to see it in a bottle form. It isn't as heavy as I remember, but the flavor is incredible It has more maple than anything I've ever tasted in a beer, and maple syrup has never been a bad thing.

I've been waiting for this one! Yes it's intended to be French toast but it's smoked vanilla and it's freaking delicious!!! Sweet and strong and immediately in my top 3 Founders beers. I would choose this over KBS *ducking
