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.

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

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

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

This one didn't age so well. Still good, but I was expecting more. A little dissapointed.

Yeah okay this is past its prime but it's surprisingly still pretty tasty. Sweet caramel / raisins.

Interessant øl med klar smag af whiskey tønde og whiskey-lignende bitterhed. Let boozy, kortvarig sødme og let vanilje som hurtigt aftager.

Ret speciel. Boozy, smagfuld og med ret meget syre - svært at beskrive. Og måske den ville falde i bedre jord en anden dag

Really good, better than average. Tamed down a lot with age. Lots of sweet caramel and barrel. A little funky tasting perhaps like too much hops. This one is tricky for me. Its nice but not sure id order it from a taplist if i had other options.

Tastes good for a beer from 2017. Very barrel forward.

All packed and ready to go! 🦁 Went with a 6 year old sipper that is actually too boozy. Heavy scotch, smoked cherries and caramel vanilla.

The warriors of time offer us much. They don’t represent what we know and what we expect but where we can go and how much we can obtain. The vigor has left the body but the bones remain, a valiant fighter finally calls his sleep.
