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.

BBF 20.07.2018, think this is the right vintage (no bottling date) Light bourbon soaked wood, subdued malts, gentle fruitiness and general oxidation on the nose. Smooth with minimal carb and noticeable oxidation. Dark fruits, caramel, molasses >>

Still has the rich malt and liquor heat but light tartness and phenols. Barrel still there but thinning out. Drink at almost room temp.

Esperaba más. Bourbon sigue muy marcado, pero la base se ha apagado y se siente bastante plana. Mucho sólido en la botella.

My experiment of aging this for 5 years. Still a fine brew. Perhaps milder intensity, not sure I remember! 😆Maybe less bourbon, more oak. Has some spiciness that stands out. 4.0

From 2017 so the flavor has probably faded but it is still very good.
