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.

Five and a half year Backwoods: Has been a hot minute since I’ve got into some really deep Founders: Malt & bourbon nose. Hints of subtle smoke. Huge caramel sweetness that’s smooth as all get out. That’s a great cellar beer.

Not loving the way this game is starting out. Hopefully, just jet lag. 6 years has mellowed this out, almost casky.

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
