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.

Book club award!! 2020 version. Smells strong, tastes strong, makes me strong. Unless it kills me. Doubtful. It’s awesome. So very smooth. Look at that lacing!

Ruim een jaar op voorraad. Blind geproefd en niets goed geraden (stijl, abv, land). Geur van honing. Smaak van geroosterde mout. Karamel. Bittertje. Droog. En toch ook iets zoetigs door die geur. Top!

Bourbon. Rook. Gebrande mout. Wat salmiak. Karamel. Zwaar. Overheerlijk.

The de-Santafication process has begun. #1 beer of 2024. Here's my thought on dry January.

I miss the older vintages, would like more caramel and toffee with the barrel as in older years.

Dark fruity character with lots of oaky Bourbon. Plenty of caramel malts too with a hint of raw alcohol. Awesome scotch ale! Thanks Evrim E. 43/50

Zo goed als schuimloos. Aroma van koffie. Ik proef koffie, wat caramel, toffee. Warm en lekker.

Been sittin' on this for more than three years. Decided tonight's the night. Hasn't lost a thing and maybe has mellowed some.

Aged pretty well. Maybe a bit less flavor. Have a couple more and will drink soon.
