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.

Never pass up an opportunity to have a backwoods bastard. Brew guy just opened up a bottle that he had in the back

I feel bad dumping half a bottle of all these beers I have left to get rid of.

Pretty boozy, subtle caramel, vanilla. Not as malty as it was expecting.

Just doesn't feel like it's aged properly. Very tanninous and almost sour flavour. Some raisins, wood and licorice in background. Bit malty off flavour. No score.

Kraftig smag... Aroma af whiskey og røg. Smag af karamel, kaffe og lidt whiskey

Still incredibly easy to drink on. 2017 was a good year for beers, according to my cellar 🤣

OK, so two years after I last tried this release, and it's still not working for me. Vinuous, not oak or bourbon, and a lot of debris

Solid but I think it's lost a little bit of it's oomph of oakiness. It's a little thin now, bit still a solid brew!

Den har inte åldrats väl. En syrlig ton är påtaglig, äpple? Inte alls i samma klass som en färsk.

Too much of all- barrel, bourbon, smoke, sugar. Cloying and dense. Not offensive, but nothing I’m repeating.
