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

Slightly different from the OG recipe when it comes to the sweetness on the tongue, maybe not as maple forward. Barrel aged aspect is hitting all the notes. Definitely stays true to the backwoods recipe. Overall still my top 5 favorite beers all time 🍻

Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, lingering finish. Founders has nailed it again!

Backwoods meets Breakfast. Maple goodness added to Backwoods. Fantastic. Headache inducer but worth it.

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

This new batch is just a touch vanilla heavy for me, but still good.

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.

Definitely the winner of the trio. I recommend if you enjoy french toast and sweet brews.

Breakfast in a bottle. Cinnamon heavy, with balancing malt and vanilla sweetness. Bready, warm and boozy, with scotch smoke and fantastic barrel flavors. This is a brew I’d recommend everyone get their hands for flavor experience. Superb Founders brew.

It’s delicious! Vanilla forward, sweet maple syrup, boozy bourbon presence & cinnamon. I’m so glad the cinnamon isn’t overdone, it’s damn tasty!

Super strong maple syrup scent. Starts out very sweet but then the scotch ale finishes a bit strong.

This grew on me. First few sips were surprisingly sweet. Would have liked more bastard, less French toast

All things considered, this beer offers exceptional value for the price point. Nails the French Toast vibe with tons of sticky maple, cinnamon spice & smooth vanilla sweetness with a lingering French Toast Crunch cereal finish. Very subtle barrel though.

Chris T. not just you. All I get is extract metallic twang. Always loved Backwoods and the french toast firkins at brewery were awesome. This isn’t that.

It’s great for sure but even a taster might be too much for me. Super sweet maple vanilla and big cinnamon. I don’t get much of the base and that’s the beer I adore tbh.

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.
