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.

Tastes a bit too old, but it’s not bad.

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

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.

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

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".

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.

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.

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

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

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.
