Backwoods Bastard (2013)

Scottish Ale

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.

Slightly better than the 2012. Not as smoky. Still zero card.

Looks like chunks of dirt in the bottom. This should have been drank already but worth a try! Thanks Aaron!

10-17. 14 is when it starts to change character. Only bad one was 12. 10 a little oxidized but otherwise smooth. Great beer!

Again, a shadow of its former self. Corpse.

Apparently the fourth of a 4-pack from 2013. Quiet sweet/malty but the dark fruit has remained. Pleasant alcohol presents.

Might be past it's prime... not sure. Kinda watery. Profile mostly nails it. Boozy with a malty sweetness. Can't really tell that this is a scothish ale, IMO. No rating as not sure how this is supposed to taste. Thanks for sharing this one Brandon S.!

No back label, and date on neck is rubbed off. Think this is a '13. Not a big fan of aged Bastard. Everything's muted in this one. Barrel is most noticable followed by some vinous and cola flavors. Fun science experiment.
