The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
French Toast Bastard takes Founders Brewing Co.'s well-known Backwoods Bastard — a malty, bourbon barrel-aged Scotch ale — and gives it the full breakfast treatment, adding the essence of smooth maple syrup and warm cinnamon to evoke an actual plate of French toast.
Expect a nose of maple, cinnamon, and bourbon barrel vanilla, with a rich, malty palate that carries Backwoods Bastard's caramel and dried-fruit character alongside genuine French-toast sweetness, finishing warm and boozy-smooth. It's a dessert-style barrel-aged ale built around a familiar breakfast flavor.
Serve it in a snifter at cellar temperature, and pair it with actual French toast, pancakes, or a plate of maple-glazed bacon for a playful match. Fans of Founders' barrel-aged lineup should shop craft beer online at Habits Bottle Shop and add French Toast Bastard to their cart.
What To Expect In The Glass
Beer
Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
