Backwoods Bastard (2015)

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.

This is great. Really nice whiskey flavor but doesn’t overpower the caramel, dates, and raisins. Very smooth and smells boozier than it is.
