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.

Very sweet with a lot of chocolate Fizzy I do not like sweet in my style of beer that’s why I have it at 2.5 stars. I am more into boozy smooth stouts

This is much heavier than I was hoping for. In some ways it's more stout than ale. I was hoping for more of the beer flavor to come through: malt, hop, and complex flavor. This tastes like a bourbon barrel imperial stout. It's not going to be a favorite.

Thin head, reddish brown color. A bourbon smell, but not too strong. Stronger bourbon taste, but it's muted by the malt and hops. These is a sour and bitter to it that I can't quite place. It's OK.

I could see this being a really good beer but it's just not really my style for some reason. For what it is though it's a good beer. I'd be willing to give it a second try.

Not much with this one. I didn’t get a lot of the scotch or bourbon taste. Kinda tasted fruity somehow. Not a winner.

Smells way too much like some whiskey I drank in high school, really wasn’t terrible, just not upfront too much with whiskey flavor.
