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.

Nothing like getting the day started with an 11.6% wee heavy. So fucking smooth. 👌🏽

Yes, this is from the 2015 release. A 7 year old bottle. This beer has aged very well. Still with a strong malty taste and barrel aged flavor. It's one of my favorites.

Bottled on 9/16/2015. There is a little bit of sediment on the bottom of bottle but still refreshing.

I am working my way through an older supply. Years ago, this beer was hard to find or had restricted sales. I tended to keep a few in reserve each year. Now it's available year long. After 7 years, this beer has aged very well.
