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.

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

Apartment clean out of random crap that should’ve been drank ages ago. Not a lot of head, but carbonation is still there. Intense dried, boozy fruits. Needs a rich cake

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!

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

Found this older bottle in the archives (big surprise) and despite 8+ years in captivity it’s still well worth drinking. Lost some of its hoppy character but still a good pour.
