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.

Bottled 20/07/2017. This one tasted really good. No overpowering currant flavour this time. Delicious sweetness

Tasting quite barleywiney. Toffee, caramel, a little biscuit, whole lot of oak, and even more dark fruit, maybe a tiny but too much, otherwise it'd get that 4.5

Yep! A few years in the cellar did this one some good!! Mellowed out nicely for a smooth, deep, toffee finish. Cheers!

Sitting on the patio with a bonfire going. Beautiful evening and sipping on a 2017 Backwoods Bastard. Doesn’t get much better than this.

Like a red ale! The big booze punch is so muted now. At room temp too. Little carb left, of course. But all the big cedar and smoky toffee is here mate

Knew I was pushing it but this has flattened out. Still good, but makes me want to find a smuggled freshy.

Don’t normally check things in twice. But trying again a year later and still solid. If anything more like a 4.35

Smells of scotch with a sweet caramel. Taste is heavy, peaty scotch that mellows out into sweet caramel. Finishes with a dark fruit taste almost black cherry. Age has done this wonders
