Backwoods Bastard (2014)

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.

Can smell mellowed oak and boozy caramel. Very smooth. Toffee and molasses up front, a boozy bourbon kick in the finish that has a hint of charred wood. Even after 10 years the booze still builds just a bit too much. Not many better ways to spend $1.99.

Just shy of 10 years old and still awesome! Love the melding of the oak with all the usual scotch aged goodness. The slight scotch finish is increased with age and still was carbonated on the pour! Nice amount of gear in finish as well 🍻

This stupid bottle of beer moved across the country with me 9 years ago. Now I am forced to drink it. OG score forever, but the quality has certainly…errrr, declined.

Looks like cola, boozy/bourbon nose. Bourbon, toffee stickiness, thick body. Cheers to 10 years!

Cellar Raid Part Deux! Way fun! A little less umph 9 years later. To be expected. A little flat, but still good.

9yrs old and it’s still a boozy one. A bit of caramel and toffee but oxidation has set in and there’s not much left here.

Backwoods flight continues. Way more carbonation. This one might be better now then fresh. I think this is when this beer starting going downhill a little bit this was enjoyable
