Backwoods Bastard (2020)

Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy

Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts, a bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark fruit. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate.

Smokier and nuttier than years past. Not quite as sweet. Still quite drinkable.

1 for now, 3 for the cellar. What a wonderful sipper. Lots of layers of flavor without being too sweet like a lot of barrel aged beers. Just right.

What more could you want from one of the most accessible wee heavy/Scottish ales. Nice malt, and oak barrel presence.

May not be in the backwoods yet however I'm headed there. And the other part...well I'll let others decide. Good but will be even better aged longer.

#4444: Unlike KBS this has remained fantastic after being scaled to a year round brew. Biscuity figgy caramel with a touch of smoke and great butterscotch and charred oak barrel

Roasted, Smokey malts then barrel aged bourbon hits you. Combined with a sweetness, smooth boozy-ness that will tell you give me another.
