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.

Founders hoort niet te ontbreken. Zachte slok met karamel nasmaak. Een lichte hint naar whiskey. Heerlijk weer!

This one spent 28 months in the cellar. Very, very smooth. The alcohol is almost completely hidden and the fruit tones have grown stronger.

Great beer. Like an old ale with vanilla, wood, bourbon, maybe some dark fruit.

Do I want a beer or a 2oz shot of scotch neat? This beer in the barrel aged series gives you both. The single malt scotch and bourbon flavors pair wonderfully. Definitely a nice kick-back sipper that leaves the palate excited for more

This beer tastes like a wood casket in the best way. It hits like a sweet, beer-bourbon shot, but the aftertaste is unreal. Take me away, backwoods boy. Founders- I love you. Let me sponsor you in my latest album

Holy shit. I've found the spoon beer to beat all spoon beers. The bourbon flavor is extra delightful.

I had forgotten that I picked this up at Total Wine & More the other day, thereby making this a pleasant find in the garage fridge. Strong, sweet, and quite smooth....this is perfect for a Friday night.
