Backwoods Bastard (2017)

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.

I keep thinking 2017 is three years old, but even though its summer of 2021. Still tastes good, but probably should’ve had a year ago

Waited a bit too long. Should have gotten it out sooner. Like most things in life , do it sooner rather than later.

Орех, карамельки, тоффи, портвейн, все очень приятно и охуенно. Но во вкусе слишком кисло и перекарб :( Все ещё вкусно

Fancy beer. Perfect for a crisp fall day, preferably some overcast skies and maybe after playing outside. Definitely needs to be some leaves on the ground and a nip in the air. Smells like wood and caramel, tastes like a smooth vanilla caramel bread

Rum and raisin on the nose, so rich, figs, toasted coconut vanilla and treacle toffee then dry, texture is rough dry dates, booze lingers

An oldie but goodie. Smooth with existing caramel undertones for something of this age. Still boozie.

It was a bit flat but damn smooth. I wouldn’t have known it was 4 years old if I hadn’t seen the label!

I feel like this got super bold and even more flavorful while cellaring. A great winter sipper.

Pennsylvania is getting their first measurable snow storm tonight. Might as well have one more 5 year old heavy hitter.

Definitely mellowed but still a solid Brew. If you have a chance get this Brew.

Pretty gentle at this point. Smooth bourbon whiskey finish is arrived at with chocolate, caramel, toffee and hints of fruit. Lovely.
