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.

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

Really great. Very distinct oaky-bourbon flavors, but not overwhelming.

Розлив февраль 2019го. Выдержанная бутылка. В аромате квашеная капуста, бурбон, карамель и жженка. Во вкусе жженая карамель, тёмный солод. Хочется смаковать. Великолепная срань.

More barrel than I remember but that’s not a bad thing. At 11% this is trouble.

Beautiful dark ruby red beer. Caramel from the malts along with cherry. The bourbon barrel aging gives it this vanilla note that works so well with it altogether. It’s equally beautiful to look at, smell, and taste. Love this.

Bottle from December 2019, cellared about a year. Big difference and SO smooth. If you've got some of this, put it away got a while and you will be pleased with the result.

I’ve never not enjoyed a Founders Barrel Aged Series beer. Backwoods Bastard was no different. While it doesn’t quite hit the mark for me like KBS does, it’s a close second.
