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.

Do not drink after other beers: too much. Also, not a summer beer, too heavy. Share in the winter

Bottled 5/8/20. It’s nice to revisit an old fav. Nice amount of oaky bourbon notes. Slight warming finish.

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

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.

Very good this would be great on a cold winters night in front of a fire! But I settled for a hot summer night during a thunderstorm! Still awesome

Smokier and nuttier than years past. Not quite as sweet. Still quite drinkable.

Packs a kick at 11%. Smooth with a Smokey bourbon finish.

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.
