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.

Got my paws on some more. Mahogany/ruby color & unmistakeable sweet whiskey aroma. Palate matches the nose & lingers a while. Great twist on Scottish Ale - Slainte!

Liquorice toffee, maple, caramel, ☕, 🍫, hints of smoke, whisky, oak, vanilla and stewed plums. Unbelievably good stuff, so well balanced.

Ah now that’s more like it. Founders getting it done with those big brews. Hint of oak gives way to tons of sweet bourbon burn. Sippah sippah chicken dinnah! I don’t know what that means but this shit’s good

Heel volle smaak. Barrel aged komt eerst naar voor, daarna caramel/chocolade, bitter blijft lang hangen. Smaakt heel alcoholisch.

It's been awhile but it never hurts to check in a classic. Smoky BA scotch ale goodness in a bottle. I love this beer

From the cellar — delicious and rich, complex spice with caramel, vanilla, molasses, and plenty bourbon notes.
