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.

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.

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.

#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

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

Roasted, Smokey malts then barrel aged bourbon hits you. Combined with a sweetness, smooth boozy-ness that will tell you give me another.

Delicious. Barrel aging balance was perfect. Low carbonation and short lasting head.
