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.

Probably should have opened sooner but held up reasonably (better than 2015)

Digging deep in my stockpile now. Loss of carbonation but that's too be expected, heavy almost rum like flavor though still

cellared for 7 years. Nose is light, hints of blueberry. Body is lighter. Flavor is like a fruit roll up - like a warm gusher almost? Lots of particulate in this one.

Still drinking pretty well. But has definitely lost its bite that I love. Still a beer I adore. But for sure a beer that is better fresh or with maybe one year max on it.
