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.

Crazy. It’s like a sweet bourbon that’s been turned into a beer. Bitter, sweet, bourbony, peaty and heavy.

🇺🇸 Founders Kitchen Take-Over. Pleasant Bourbon aroma with sweetness and some mild peaty whiskey notes. The flavor has strong alcohol presence. Bourbon smoothens nicely. Bottled on 12/17/20.

Pizza dough aroma, cherry, wood, a little hop bitterness, somewhat sweet. Perhaps a bit to much cherry for my taste, but overall very nice

I though I checked this in when I bought it. Is a good Ale, was a Great one. Best before -18 might explain to much oxidation. The bourbon barrels is still there though.. Should I rate this old one or the one I bought?

Se siente un montón la madera y el bourbon, acompañada de vainilla, galleta, toffee... los 11° muy bien integrados, se disfrutan a fondo.

My first ever Scottish Ale. Not too back. A little thin for a stout guy but the combined flavor of a sing malt scotch & bourbon barrel aging saved the day

It’s dark. Good. Better than a Guinness. Don’t like people who only drink Guinness. So there ya go.

Super dense and concentrated flavors of chocolate and a little coffee and maybe a teeny bit of licorice...
