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.

Got the fire going, now just waiting for my brunch beer coffee buddy to get here! Iaky caramel boozy nose. Aged just right. One of my favorite Founders beers. Slightly sweet caramel toffee rich flavorful full bodied.

Bastaard?? Niks bastaard!! Outstanding issie! Is het weer de Bourbon? Is het Founders? Nee het is een FK outstanding taste of balanced flavors, of zoals F zelf schrijft: kick-back sipper Made to excite the palate: zoet, karamellig, fruity & BOURBON!

Этот старик по-прежнему крут. Идёт своей тропкой, ведёт за собой отряд и даёт периодически из свой фляги хлебнуть. Молодой, ему бы постоять год-другой. Но какой же многогранный: от сушёного яблока и инжира до бурбона и дуба. Очень здорово прогревает
