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

My 2 of 2 found last Thanksgiving week. This already beautiful BBA Scotch Ale now w/ maple, cinnamon & vanilla takes this to another level. I even get the eggs on bread!

Maple and bourbon right away with eggy toast, cinnamon & vanilla. Must be something wrong because I seem to like this way more then most. Thanks, FlandersNed

Been aging over a year so I figured it was a good night to crack open before another long day at work tomorrow. Delightful beer. Honestly top tier.

Yes didn't realize it but this one has aged over a year. Born Sept 2022, Died Dec 2023 Maple still coming through strong, vanilla, cinnamon there, seems less boozy to me. Sweet, strong and delicious

Much more subtle maple. I think this is almost perfectly aged. Maybe just a touch overaged with a bare hint of cardboard, but it got that sweetness down perfectly. Cinnamon and vanilla are just right

Maple sweet nose. Smooth. Sweet. Cinnamon, maple forward. Roasty malt. Boozy. Maple, bourbon sweet finish. Good BA variant. May prefer the regular. Test for another day

If this were not a scotch ale I would have passed. But I was intrigued and happy I tried it. Maple syrup starts out and is quickly followed by cinnamon. As it warms up the bourbon flavoring enters and just makes it a damn fine ale.

Better than the brewery-only release a few years ago. Maple, cinnamon, and barrel deliciousness. Smells incredible.

Packing/moving beer. Surprised this isn’t rated higher but maybe it’s polarizing. Backwoods bastard is one of my favorite available year round beers so I’m biased but this nails the French toast flavor. Wish I could find more. Also rounded out the move.

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
