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.

Verkligen inte min typ av öl. Doften i kombo med smaken funkar inte för mig.

Fin ale, med en dejlig smag af bourbon. Desværre er der bare ikke andre nuancer i øllen. Havde aldrig gætte den til 11 % Efter øllen er blevet lidt varmere vinder den helt klart. Får en meget bedre sødme, og holder smagen meget bedre.

Intressant. Lite sur doft och smak. Lite komplex. Kanske inte värd sitt pris om 60 spänn.

Finish is definitely off, really not my thing to begin with. Maybe it's too old, 09/19.

I love Founders but not their best effort. To be fair if I had know this was a Scotch style ale I wouldn't have bought it.

God is that strong! Can totally feel the 11% ABV. Too strong for me I think. Huge, bold flavour of caramel and toffee but then a very, very bitter aftertaste. Lingers long in the mouth. Clearly a lot of reviewers really like this, but it's not for me.
