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.

De vatrijping komt goed naar voren omdat het een Ale is ipv Een stout 👌🏼

I have not had this in several years and was happy to find the latest version in the store. While good it is not as thick as past versions. Mouthfeel is kind of thin but still a nice scotch ale.

Bottle 4 share. Mon 2/15. 2020 version of a fave. Wee-Heavy's are one of my favorite styles. This nails all the good stuff! Dark fruit, oak, smoke, vanilla & caramel. Bourbon barrel is a plus. Better as it warms. Not boozy for an 11% ABV. Yum!

Dit bier is geweldig, bijna 5 sterren. In Berghuis ben ik teleurgesteld, die is solo verantwoordelijk voor deze deceptie 😡

Barrel aged beers from Founders are so good. I’m progressing in my Scotch appreciation.

Very nice! Smooth as can be, nothing over powering about it.

For an 11 percenter, it’s pleasantly light but very tasty

Stiff Upper Lip

Full bodied, mid-dry palate with low carbonation. Rich and complex aroma and taste. Up front, oak, bourbon, vanilla, and dark dried fruits. Rich malty, caramel, toast and hints of smoke. Overall sweet and boozy but in a very seductive backwoods way!
