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.

BB date is June 2018. Likely past its prime. But you can still appreciate the caramel aspects withtout the wood from the barrel ageing. Note to self…stop waiting so long!

It’s decent; lost a step or two compared to other vintages I’ve had recently but respectable.

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.

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