Backwoods Bastard (2016)

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.

This is too old. Saved it from a friend’s basement but I was too late. Lost a lot of the good stuff. Moment of silence…

Final of the backwoods flight. This smells pretty good but it's kind of gross. Just booze with a bat aftertaste.

Bought a single off of the deep discount shelf today. It’s ok but is not at the original rating (which I am not adjusting for this check in). If you already have it on your shelf, drink it soon. It tastes like it could become a malt bomb at any time.

It's hollow. Not much malt left. The barrel presence is mellow but all that's there at this point. Waited to long. No rating.

Näyttää teollisuushallin pihan lammikolta. Vahva viskin aromi. Maltaista makeutta ja aromia. Hieman karamellia. Pinnat jättää pienen viinan maun suuhun. Haastava tyyli, aivan mielenkiintoinen tulkinta.

Pehmeä bourbonin tuoksu, vaniljaa ja maltaisuutta sekä vähän rusinaa. Mausta löytyy kuivaa viskisyyttä, mallasta, hentoa mausteisuutta sekä vivahde tummaa marjaa ja hedelmää. Kyllä se on hyvin kellaroitunut. Namskis

Dark, hefty, bit boozy. Lots of caramel and vanilla, slight dryness and bitterness in the finish which is honestly very nice instead of like an insane sweetness. I also get plums and a small sulfuric thing on the palate. Very very tasty.

Dried fruits, burnt caramel, vineous notes. This one is decent. Same vintage from tap at Konttori 2020 was disaster. Rated 2.1. Bottled version rated 4.0 at Konttori 2014.
