Backwoods Bastard

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. Distribution Note: Now available year-round beginning April of 2018.

This bourbon soaked bomber got me out on my front porch in cut off overalls playing Simple Man on a slide guitar. Maw’s in the kitchen fixing giblets. She don’t know it yet but I won Blake Shelton tickets and 2 coupons to Longhorn Steakhouse on the radio.

Aged from 2018, boozy, but lost caramel tones

Super peaty/smokey with good amount of oak and a little vanilla and tobacco. Smooth and deceiving for 11%, but also seems a little thin.

Fantastic. Everything I like about the Dirty Bastard but with the sweet and vinous flavors that barrel aging adds. Not boozy but strong, zero fusel notes, no staling or bad sherry notes. Malty, rich, smooth, and well balanced. Finishes well, great beer.

If Founder’s Dirty Bastard is the benchmark of Scotch ales (it is), this is what happens when you turn it to 11. The best Scotch Ale you can find without hunting high and low.

Boozy but very tasty. The alcohol helps cut the sweetness of the scotch ale.

Действительно танинная тема. Выдержка есть. Не приторный, сухенький. Но "грязный ублюдок" получше.

The oakey bourbon flavor is a little too strong, overpowering the malt character. Still tasty
