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.

Розлив 11.11.2020. Немножко не дотянул до года, но греет душу то, что в шкафу есть вторая бутылочка. Это пиво можно сравнить со стальным кулаком в шелковой перчатке. Мощь и деликатность, насыщенность и тонкость. Вкусно!

What's not to love? Oaky dates and prunes. Toffee and smoke. A great old ale.

One of my all time fav Wee’s I’ve revisited off and on over the years. From the 2018 slight disappointment, it’s now back in good ol’ excellent style. Creamy dark smoked fruits in balanced BBA with a dry spicy finish. Upping the score to where it belongs.

Alkuun vähän äkkiväärä, mutta lasin loppua kohti kirii todella kovaa. Tää on vaan hyvää ja loppuu lopulta kesken.

Кремота. Намазано. Бочечный намаз. Перелив. Перекат. Вытяжка шишковидной. Боженька. Фаталити бэ-бэ-селект-вверх IDDQD в своем жанре. Флолесс виктори. Не споткнулся-поперхнулся в моем потоке сознания, надеюсь?

Mild milk chocolate with a bit of a scotch aftertaste. Almost creamy. No bite at all, the 11% ABV is a surprise.

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.
