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.

Maussa 90% tynnyriä... Vahvasti vanilijaa ja raakaa alkoholia sekä häivähdys kaakaota. Hyvää, mutta yksipuolista.

Caramel, dried fruits, vanilla and oak, with a healthy dose bourbon. Sweetness. Mellowed peat and hops, seriously going BW. 😎 Vintage 2017(.07.20)

Time has not been good, Sour, boozy in the taste, rum and raisins in the aroma

On tap. Aged very well. Much more barrel flavor than I remember when I had it fresh.

Never tried an ale aged on bourbon barrels before. Very nice, but next time I want to try the fresher 2020 version, I feel like the vanilla has faded.

Found in the back of a fridge. Smells like soy sauce and HP sauce, lots of sediment. Probably not representative.

Huhei. Best før 01.08.19? Neppe! Fyldig, varmende, søt, eikete, får nesten litt belgisk følelse av denne. Lett fenolsk, kompleks og en anelse vinøs - men bærer alkoholen godt. Strålende flaske med alkohol.

Tumma, rusehtavan punainen pienellä vaahdolla, kuivattua hedelmää, rusinaa taatelia, kuivaa bourbonista tynnyriä, kuivaa puuta, lievää vaniljaa, hieman suklaata ja viskiä, melko täyteläinen, lämmittävän alkoholinen, pitkä ja kuivan monipuolinen lopetus.
