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.

In the backwoods dried fruits might have gone a bit stale. Resembles now more barley wine than scotch ale and not for the better. Still ok but would've liked to taste this before "maturing".

Wow eventually this really improved. I’m sorry now that I wasn’t more patient in aging these.

Maltainen, rikas maku. Kypsytys tuonut mukavasti rusinaa ja sherryä makuun. Öljyinen koostumus. Alkoholi maistuu, joka sinänsä tässä tyylissä on hyväksyttävää. Yli 5 vuotta kypsyttäneet tätä Konttorilla. Hieno olut, jossa pitkä kypsytys on tuonut makua.

Last bottle of the 2016. Has held up pretty admirably, and mellowed in a pleasant way.

Alcohol burn is completely gone. 5 shades darker than fresh. Mostly just tastes like barrel and raisins
