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.

Light Carmel malty aroma. Interesting light Carmel booziness going on. This held up pretty well. I don’t really know when I had this, but it camped in the big fridge for quite a few years

Store find. Originally tasted this vintage in 2019. It has held up very well. Haven’t changed on my rating. Smokey malt. Some brown sugar and candied fruits

Pulling this out if the cellar tonight. PKG 9.29.17. May have lost some of its aroma and punch, but still pretty awesome.

Picking up way more smokey, oakly, spice notes than the old malty sweetness from original years. Can’t say aging didn’t help or hurt, but definitely changed the profile from malty to smoked/ oaky

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