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.

Bourbon, fikon, choklad, lakrits, nötter och kokos. Rätt gott faktiskt trots att det här inte alls är min stil.

Od biedy można wypić, jak nie ma nic lepszego na horyzoncie. Początek bardzo fajny z mocną beczka w aromacie i masą karmelu. Dalej słabiej, w smaku klasycznie dla Foundersa brak ciała i alkoholowość. Wyjątkowo płytkie, zero głębi i złożoności.

Slight toffee hints behind the not-overly-sweetness of the bourbon barrels. Rich creamy head. More flavor comes out as it warms up after being poured. My go to regular bourbon barrel aged beer when not wanting to open my limited selection of BCBS.

После маунтайнса понравился меньше, но в нем больше от пива. Жженый, кофе, изюм, сухофрукты. Понравилось, что чувствую солод, но он чуть жидковат, вкус невзрачный и обычный, ну типа пиво и сухофрукты, всё. Прогрев знатный.
