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.

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.

boozy oak, dates, vanilla caramel, brown sugar molasses. Many complex flavors blend very well together. One could say yummy

Oh, so tasty. Oak bourbon barrel aged beers are so much my jawn, and this one might be my #2 after Curieux. The aroma of single malt scotch is intriguing, and the beer provides that slight hint of spiciness one would expect because of it.

Chocolate, caramelo, sirope y algo de vainilla. El equilibrio en esta cerveza es una maravilla. Bien manejada la barrica, con la nota de bourbon presente en su justa medida. Birrón.

Smells like Scotland. Combinatie van whisky, bourbon en Scotch ale. Smaak; zoet, karamel, warm vleugje rook. Rolt lekker van de tong. Toppertje.
