Backwoods Bastard (2014)

Tom Miller

Subtle wood notes, not too sweet, smooth.

A rating seems unfair as this has definitely fallen off, having said that at 7yo it's surprising this is still drinking well. Faded bourbon, sweet brown sugar/molasses like taste. Was expecting rubbing alcohol so I'm happy.

This is holding up real well. Great sweet caramel, deep leather, and tobacco. There’s a solid dry oakiness and a hint of vanilla. Little thin, but that’s to be expected. This is just awesome. Here’s to you Chris! Salut!

Significant drop-off from when I last opened one. Front end is malty, sweet, molasses, spice, oak but the middle and the finish are totally gone. The flavor is in the front end then it just disappears and finishes like water. Note to self, 5 year limit.

Very smooth, with sweetness!

Jeremy Forster

Boozy, malty, dark stone fruit, but smooth and sippable

OK.

Rather flat, but not thin. Toffee and warming alcohol. Still alive.

Carbonation almost gone. Caramel and coffee with bourbon back. Needs to warm up a bit.

This beer ages so damn well.

Revisited a little over a year later. Aging extremely well. Burnt sugar, vanilla, barrel, tobacco. A standout for the style. I don’t gravitate towards this brew much any more but when I pick one up it does itself justice.

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

Operation drain the cellar shall continue for as long as the weather remains shite.

This is a remarkably smooth and well-crafted beer, and it remains my favorite Wee Heavy that I have ever tried. After aging for eight years, it's even smoother. Booze, malt, & toffee, plus slightly smoky, spicy, and oaky, with a single-malt scotch taste.

8 years old

Still holding up well. Mellowed barrel but still tons of flavor. Smoooooth!

8 years is too long for this. Inoffensive, but a lot of little complexities and intensities that make this beer great are completely faded.
