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.

2017 vintage. Still well carbed & with plenty of rich caramel flavor. Nice hints of bourbon, but smells boozier than it taste. Lovely ale.

Oef. Een van de vele geweldenaars van Founders. Met een bourbon-boost waar ik erg blij van word. 🇺🇸

I've definitely had this one before, and it's just as good. Sweet with scotch. The haul from Michigan was especially good on this delivery.

Uno de los birrotes del 2021. Terriblemente deliciosa e intensa. Aromas de pasas, ciruela, guindas en licor. Boca caramelosa, melaza, cacao, regaliz, fondo tostado, avellana. Glicérica. Cuerpo denso y gas fino. Amargor final y cálida astringencia. Muy top

Eine totale Stroboskopkonzentration des Stils. Alles da, aber ³. Süß, beerig, schokoladig. Grandios, aber überzeichnet für die Kategorie.

Toffee, caramel and bourbon notes. Heavy body with oak on the finish. Founders makes some of the best regular production barrel aged beers.
