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.

Very good. Slight bourbon flavor but more caramel than anything.

Definitely can taste the liquor in this. But it is still really nice. Two of these and I’ll be buzzed I think. Lol.

Boozy & malty. A definite barleywine feel to it. Won’t seek this out but won’t avoid if offered.

Had to take a picture since I have the glass... Barrel ageing really adds sweetness to the Dirty Bastard.

Would be interested to try this at another time earlier in the day. Has a subtle booziness to it, but isn't that interesting.
