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.

It's held up so well. Still a big beer, and the barrel is complimentary rather than dominant.

Found this little beauty under some dust in the cellar. Boosy, but more mellow than I remember.

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

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

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

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.

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