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.

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 ✅

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.

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

A big beer to go along with prepping to make a slightly lesser big beer. Big bourbon and malt flavor, but also highly drinkable. 👍👍👍

Thought I was reaching for a Doom beer but pulled out this Bastard… most likely my teams are doomed in this tourney… and my dog must think I’m a bastard for not sharing my brewski! 🍻

F'ing NHL clearly wants FLA to win this series. Punch to the jaw (63), holding (94), cross-checking (73). Apparently all okay if you play for FLA...
