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.

Сухофрукты и бурбон. Ничего лишнего, всë органично, алко есть, но не режет вкус. Погреть бы его ещё, да и так, в принципе, хорошая вещь.

Enticing aroma of bourbon vanilla, molasses, brown sugar, and booze. Creamy and rich vanilla flavor upfront, damp oak throughout, and toffee malt on the finish. Moderate alcohol warming. More akin to a barleywine or old ale given the bourbon presence.

Big bourbony aroma; lots of malt sweetness (but not overly sweet) with caramel, toffee, and vanilla flavors mingling with the bourbon; another tasty barrel aged sipper from Founders. Always a solid bet.
