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.

Out of date since 2017 — still tasted great! Hasn't exactly been stored perfectly or nothing, but seems it hasn't affected the taste that much, at least, for what I can tell.

This is a decent scotch ale. Its really smooth & boozy upfront with a lot of oakiness in the backend. Most definitely get a substantial BA profile from the single malt scotch & bourbon barrels. I also detect a slight smokiness and caramel throughout.

Solid. Oakey boozy n rich. A good way to end the night after a couple of drain pours.

This is deep and complex with tons of flavor. It's a nice sipper after a great day. Will drink again

Good, but not as much depth and bourbon as previous batches. Either 2022 or 2023.

Better as it warms up. Nice balance between the ale and bourbon.

The barrel age is prominent here. Very boozy and heavy. It’s like having a Bourbon shot in a dirty bastard. Might go well with a cigar in the evening.

Little boozy, but it balances the dank hop and sweetness of the bourbon barrel.

Solid bourbon barrel ale. Highly alcoholic so be careful but suspiciously drinkable

Smells of drk chocolate, dried fruit (rasin, prune), earthy & boozy. Taste is the same - drk choclate upfront followed by dried fruit, but some woody, smokieness at the end with a boozy finish. The end is reminiscent of scotch. Sipper. Smooth.
