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.

Smoky and boozy. Nice malt base and aging really shows up.

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

Kermaisen pehmeÀ, erittÀin tasapainoinen ja monimuotounen,kuivahkon maltainen, upeaa bourbontynnyriÀ, hieman paahteisuutta, suklaata ja tummia hedelmiÀ, pitkÀ aromikas jÀlkimaku.

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

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.
