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.

Thai brew has complex flavors of vanilla and berries and finishes smooth and rich.

Describes itself as a caramel malt, well that's what it taste like. Bottled 4/12/18 so not sure that helped or hurt it but prob not for me.

This bottle’s definitely a little off. Bottled 4/19. Not terribly, like it’s been shelved a little too long.

Halfway through a bottle of this and the bastard has whispered rhymes of quality frontier gibberish from the backwoods already!

almost no trace of the bourbon BA, or the base Beer itself in fact, only the overwhelming, unpleasant booze. expected a lot more from this

Big bourbony aroma; lots of malt sweetness (but not overly sweet) with caramel, toffee, and vanilla flavors mingling with the bourbon; another tasty barrel aged sipper from Founders. Always a solid bet.

В запахе немного агрессивное, вкус более мягкий, чуть бочка и, чуть карамельно.

Barrel aging very present on the nose with an additional sweetness. Molasses, dark malt and dry finish.

Kirkas mustanpunainen. Tuoksu vaniljaista karamellia, tummaa suklaata ja bourbonia. Suussa tasainen ja väkevän täyteläinen. Vanilja ja bourbon hallitsevat makua. Taustalla karamellia ja paahtoa mausteeksi.

Contemplating dumping the rest of this down the drain. Can’t believe I paid $4 for such an asinine taste. For such a heralded beer among my peers, my disappointment is immeasurable.
