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.

6 years probably a little long? Flavors were muted but present. Drank very easy, little burn, still bubbly

Tasty but nearing the end of its time. Delicious biscuity oaky fig, caramel, vanilla. Really smooth, but getting some oxidation on the finish

Soft velvety mouthfeel, molasses, little bit of smoke, raisin, smooth bourbon oakiness. Lost a touch of carbonation in 6yrs but held up quite well otherwise

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! 🍻😴🌜🌲🪓

Cousin David shipped this to me in December 2015 from Texas.. The ABV does not match the 2015 vintage therefore I am assuming this is 2014.
