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.

Lci. God osteledsager. Dyb karamelsødme, og en markant fornemmelse af bourbonfad. Åbner sig stille og roligt op, når temperaturen stiger.

Aparte smaak sensatie, lijkt wel of ik vis/viskruiden proef. Bourbon ook sterk aanwezig, maar ook zoet.

17-9-27 vtg; ~3yr/o. Bitter wood character, and slightly smoked malt. Notes of savoury vanilla and warm molasses. Better than last one! Darn good with choco flan.

Just shy of it’s third birthday and this is drinking great. Toasted malts, tons of oak, faint vanilla & fig - she aged well

Så for satan der er knald på! 🌪 Er dog forvirret: Normalt er ale med sprut og let vanille, slet ikke mig. Men den kan sgu noget! Røget whisky med sødlig malt. Dog smager det lidt som at blande øl og whisky half-half i et glas 😬 Lidt FOR mærkelig måske?

Had a great day today so decided to top it off with the cellar favorite. Booze burnt off and is way more carmely and smooth. I will probably regret having this all to myself. Cheers!!!

Didn't age well or it was Happy's lack of AC in the back skunking all the new beer.

Toffee, molasses, fig, and raisin. Hint of vanilla. Very smooth, almost no heat. Med body with a light carb. Not much bourbon left, touch of oxidation. These beers age so phenomenally. Can’t wait for the 2015-2017 vertical I have planned
