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.

Late check-in from last night. The🍺is an appropriately strong Scotch ale from Founders. The movie ✅ checks another box for the HoopTober challenge and makes 2 of 3 Asian films now. “Seoul Station” is an animated prequel to the superb “Train to Busan.”

Есть такие пивоварни, увидев в продаже которые сразу понимаешь - "это того стоит". Для меня это как раз оно. Нос тягучий, карамельный, в барлик. Вкус на балансе - солода, спирт, нотки щепы - это крепко, спирта много, но это именно то, что мне видется

Wow! This is a cheeky brew, it's not what you anticipate it to be. It slides past your pallet really easy. The aftertaste is clean, crisp and vaguely nutty.

Straight up the aromas get me with Bourbon overloads which carries on to the flavours with also plenty of dark fruits, vanilla, caramel, oak and slight licorice. Great upfront but got better as I sipped on it and let it warm!

Карамель, какао. Во вкусе изюм и немного шоколада. Долгое послевкусие. Крепко, благородно.

Oak, bourbon, and caramel dominate in this barrel aged strong ale. This one starts out sweet and finishes with an over powering boozy bourbon finish. Slight taste of maple pushes this beast over the top!

Smokey peat phenols precipitates tantalizing urges for scotch neat imbibement, dry kilt lifting kiln barley sounds the Wee Heavy palate pibroch, toasted caramel toffee towers over taste receptors like Scottish Thistles in full bloom upon Highland taiga.

A Beer Advocate 94 point triumph from Founders! Cloudy dark with berry, toffee and caramel quinoa with similar flavors, plus scotch, bourbon, dark fruit and vanilla.
