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.

Not bad for a bourbon aged beer, pretty strong but not a bad aftertaste, smooth tasting and pretty creamy taste

#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

Alcohol and bourbon subtle, but wait a minute and it hits you. (I think my BP is low.) Goes well with my oatmeal and honey and eggs. Bottle indicates packaged July 2020.

Whoa. Way better than an 11% should be. It’s not very boozy at all, some chocolately sweetness really balances any harsh bourbon bite, really let’s the smooth creamy texture stand out.

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.

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

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.
