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.

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.

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! 🍻😴🌜🌲🪓

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

Starts out like straight scotch from the liquor store. Strong and boozy. As it reached room temp the caramel and toffee flavors come out. Did not fade at all. It probably could go another couple 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
