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.

Duidelijke bourbon smaak en een lichte rook smaak. Deze is niet te overheersend maar wel duidelijk. Lekker rustig weg drinken

Another exceptional year for this barrel aged brew. Great boozy, oak rich malt flavors.

Woopee! Allemachtig, da's niet mis. Whisky all around. Donker, zoet, houtig met karamel en iets van gedroogd fruit. En een 'kick in the head', want dit is geen flauwe jongen.
