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.

Absolutely awesome. One of the greatest Scotch ales I have ever tasted. Served from my cold room which provided slightly cooled temperature, perfect for this type of beer.

Fantastic. Very complex. Like a toasted piece of mahogany smoked on a fire of peat and coffee and then covered in tung oil.

One of the best beers I’ve ever had. Caramel, smokey, bourbon. Perfect barrel aged beer.

I dunno if it's five stars like I've previous rated but it's really damn good. Less heavy on the scotch flavor than others but very very smooth and hides the heavy abv incredibly well

My favorite beer in the world. Been drinking since it was ultra rare and we had to drive from party store to party store to find it around the release date. Now on tap at the brewery makes my year. Best finish of any beer.
