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.

För 5,5 år sedan satte jag 1,0 i betyg på den här så jag har sett fram emot att testa den igen nu när man mer uppskattar fatlagring. Visst är den lite söt o alkoholig som jag sa då men bourbon faten ger en väldigt fin smak i övrigt. Lite mer beska tack!

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.

Notes of caramel, toffee, brown sugar, toasted oak, chocolate maalt and balanced barrel presence. Always a pleasure.

From the brewery description..."Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt Scotch, bourbon barrels... " Superb and available in a four pack at Haggen's Woodinville.

Sitting here enjoying a Bastard and mentally preparing for an unwanted visit from Laura, due to arrive tomorrow night. Gulf Shores and points west got lucky with the visit from Marco. Maybe we will too.

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.
