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.

Can't go wrong with bourbon aged anything anything! I think I prefer porters/stouts in this fashion but still tasty nonetheless

Been quite a while since I've had this stuff. Either my palate has changed/matured, or this is not as good as it used to be. I recall the whiskey heat not being dominating, as it sort of is here. Still very nicely sweet, layered caramel malts though.

Not one I'd drink every day but still. Great flavor and barrel aged is always more interesting

Aroma: Brown sugar, vanilla, maple, and molasses. the breadiness underneath and then a whiff of booze. It's not overly sweet, maybe the 50 ibus mute with a stealthiness. A good beer

Brukar tycka att det blir för tungt med lagring på bourbon och whisky fat men här bröts det av torkade fikon, russin och en härlig sötma. Godis!

Tasty ale, bit rubberish taste when cold but that vanishes. Ok but not special

Fadlagret er det første der rammer. Bourbon. Derefter masser af rosin. Fylde som ind i hel..... En øl der varer lidt tid... zippe zippe

I really wanted to try this because of the irreverent name. Super duper boozy and malty! Really strong, but surprisingly sippable. Has a potent scotch smell and a nice kick to it! Very epic!

Сильно выражен вкус алкоголя, но по-своему хорош, вне сомнений.

#1 ranked Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy beer my Scotch Loving friends told me to try. This one isn't for everyone but Scotch lovers will love. For me I'm glad to have tried and credit Founders for their variety. 🥃
