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.

10/12/16. Not too thin but the wood did fade a bit. Still very good.

Finally cracked open my case. Damn has this mellowed our. Not as punishing with the scotch, but easy drinking that still packs a hell of a punch!

Went vertical last night. This was sweeter with notes of vanilla more apparent. Not quite as smooth with a touch of heat. Just as good, slightly different. Thanks Tomb Raider Ricky!

Turned minty. Chocolate peppermint. Sweet. Way different than its original offering. Drinks like 6%

Amazingly smooth for such a strong beer. Tons of character, vanilla, nutty, smoke... Incredible.

Revisiting another Founders brew after 1 more year. 1 month shy of 4 years since it was bottled. 11.1 % and it improved since last year. Very nice 👍. I hope I have another one left!
