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.

Ja genieten dit. Heel zacht maar toch heftig in zijn smaken. Whisky, caramel, hout, donker fruit en licht gerookt. En dat nog in balans ook. Founders top brouwerij!!

Dark sugar, boozy barrel warmth. It's almost rum-like. Slow sipper of course but doesn't feel as heavy as it is

Big roasted malt and smoke on the nose here. Get a beautiful oakey bourbon smell too. Lots of booze on and dark fruit. Very sweet and definitely a slow drinker

Oh wow! That is just delectable full body beer! Loving that caramely, strong malt, stone fruit flavoring from the wee heavy mixed with the barrel aged notes of oak, vanilla, and a boozy punch that isn’t too powerful. Outstanding!
