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.

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

Had way too late. A bit flat. Spicy flavors still. Boozy though muted.

Peakade säkert nån gång 2015 men håller fortfarande upp riktigt bra. Ingen felsmaker alls. Något tunn men inte mer än förväntat. Positivt överraskad.

Bottled 10/07/2014 - Drinking great for 6yrs old. It's definitely peaked, so I'll begin killing these old Bastards softly. Good night to this old sweet Bastard. Cheers! 🍻😴🌜🌲🪓

Basically, it's an Oak aged barley wine at this point. Not bad though.
