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.

Bourbon. Smoky, raisins and caramel malt notes with a thick mouthfeel. Finishes with a slightly dry and moderate bitterness. A great winter warmer!

Hmmm, not bad. It's gone kinda raisiny/licorice five years hence, malts pushing over the peat a bit. Pretty tasty profile still. Was this a Jason bottle? Hmm, he has 7 checkins to my 0...yep...thanks Jason! 😁🍻

good! honestly the best way for me to work into darker beers is the cellared ones. mild now due to age but a nice roasty finish.

These hold up really well. Character keeps evolving as the years go by but still fantastic! Should do a year by year comparison.

Now my bottle experiment has been aged 5.5 years. Up-rated to 4.25. Same comments as last October. More subdued, less bourbon, but very smooth. Fun.
