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.

Nice caramel color, though the head didn't last too long. Smooth finish and pleasant (but not overpowering) sweetness.

One of my favorite Founders beers. Just love the way the boozy bourbon notes pop against the caramelly, smoked peat Scotch Ale notes.

Came across this little gem today. I still get a coconut taste in the end although there is no coconut in it. Fantastic.

Thérapie en bouteille! Après plus d’un an à boire de la Singha et de la Leo ici à BKK, quel plaisir de déguster ce délice rond et capiteux! Pensée aux amis du Qc ❤️⚜️

Pleasantly surprised with barrel aged ale. They tend to be overpowering in my opinion. This ole bastard is full of flavor, smooth and drinkable

Very subtle nose with notes of hazelnut and coffee. FLAVOR THOUGH!! Explosive. Vanilla chocolate little Smokey bourbon hint of maraschino cherries, finished silky with chocolate mascarpone chocolate frosting. Flavor. Little to no bitterness perfect.

Smells like caramel, chocolate, almost Twix like but with some sort of fruit… anyways flavor is great, not overpowering, but very full. Definitely caramel, some spices, great bear. Not hoppy, not super thick. Almost dessert-like and silky. J ✅
