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.

😯 wat een bizar biertje. Sterk aroma, rokerige bourbon, single malt scotch, zoete caramel en geroosterde mout... deze komt binnen!

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.

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!

Freshly bottled a couple weeks ago and tasting great as always. This has become a go-to beer for me. It’s constantly great, full barrel, oak, caramel and sugar flavors. Also reasonably priced. When I want an evening bourbon barrel sipper, this does it.

Scotchy-Scotch you bastard! Mmm! Yum! Probably one of the best bourbon barrel aged beers in my opinion. Smoky, nutty, oaky, and sweet.. so F’ing backwoods.
