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.

Füles

Csokis, kakaós kávés, aszalt szilvás-cseresznyés ízek, komoly vaníliás, whiskey-s hordós aromákkal és egy kis füsttel, némi karamellel.

Very well executed. A slightly sweet woodiness gives way to smooth bourbon barrel notes. Very well done without being boozy.

The flavor of this is delicious but man an 11% beer is just a punch to the mouth kinda strong. Still a great addition to the flight but would pass on this in most cases outside of trying sumn new. The guy also looks like Gandalf +.25 for that
