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.

Out of the cellar from 2016, awesome maltyness, great barrel flavors of oak & bourbon!

I used to go bananas for this beer. So much so that I definitely had a full case of this vintage alone at one point (after this, down to 5 bottles). I still enjoy it, but I’m not as in love with it as I once was and haven’t bought even...

Even better after 5 years in the cellar. Fig and raisin are the forward nuances with a syrupy, malt finish...

Just had a 2012, and it was more popping vanilla than this guy - this is a bit of wood up front, then it more like a wet rag...

Last bottle. Bought 8 on release at the source. Muddy like the Detroit River. Coffee, barley sugar, dark chocolate. Drinks like an old school old ale. Delicious.
