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.

Bourbon all over the place, also some dusty oak. Not too boozy, tho. Some caramel and sweet coffee notes.

Already from the first sniff I knew that this would be great. The barrel-aging comes forth great in the nose and also has hints of raisins and a little plum. The taste is sweet, it has layers and carries a bit caramel. Lovely.

Oaky caramel, dryness probably from alcohol. Could actually use more sweetness. Hint of those barrel chemical notes in scent. Alcohol warming in the end.

Kermaisen pehmeä, erittäin tasapainoinen ja monimuotounen,kuivahkon maltainen, upeaa bourbontynnyriä, hieman paahteisuutta, suklaata ja tummia hedelmiä, pitkä aromikas jälkimaku.

Mildly smoky(?), boozey, sweet, thick & rich. Some berried flavors in the mix as well? Complex and tasty stuff 🍺 A sip of Ardbeg Uigeadail on the side 🥃

Tasted in 2020 from draft. Sweetness is gone, but maybe also some of those tastes, which earned 4.25 for this beer earlier.
