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.

Lighter in body than 2016, barrel seems more neutral or 2nd use than other BAs. A little spice, nice earthiness.

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

Definitely lost a bit of the vanilla, lots of boozy dark fruits and oak, gets a lil sweeter as it warms

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

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!

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
