Backwoods Bastard gets the 4-star breakfast treatment. Our malty and rich bourbon barrel-aged Scotch ale is introduced to smooth maple syrup, warm cinnamon and 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?

Dark brown almost black with a two-finger tan head. Aroma is chocolate, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Taste is also chocolate, cinnamon and maple syrup. Great tasting beer.

Flaska från SB. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad klar vätska utan skum. Stor riktigt fin maltig doft med fudge, mörk karamell, lönnsirap, vanilj, kanel och söt granola. Smaken är inte lika stor och komplex men fin. Len och stor kropp. Mycket gott

4 oz draft. Aroma is cinnamon and mild maple syrup. Flavor shows a mild bready malt base with soft maple syrup and a blast of cinnamon on the finish. I wanted to hate this sell out brewery but… this is pretty decent. Could NOT drink more then 8 oz.

Bought locally, bottled August 15th 2023.
It pours a deep amber brown with an inch of foam, excellent lacing.
The smell is, yeah, french toast, with Maple syrup, cinnamon, smell is mildly sweet.
Taste is french toast, caramel malt, cinnamon, Maple syrup, and for sure, I am tasting the alcohol.
Close to, if not, full bodied.
My last bottle and I have enjoyed them.
Like having a glass of French toast with vanilla ice cream. Really good.
Was a lovely morning for roller hockey. Will take these mild winters all day.

Bottle from Charles Street Liquors, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. An amber/brown coloured pour with a medium off white/beige head on top. Sweet, vanilla, maple, cinnamon, bourbon taste/aroma. It does exactly what it says on the bottle. Always enjoy these barrel aged series beers from Founders but Jesus this one is incredibly sweet. Still a lovely drink though.
