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.

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.
