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.

A riveting smooth scotch ale that is deep with flavor and finishes with sweet herculean strength and tenderness. Doesn’t ask you to finish it quickly but it certainly leaves you wanting more with every swig of the bottle. Another fabulous Founders.

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

Sweetness on the nose. Medium bodied as smoky notes develop on the front, then the scotch punches through strongly at the end with a little bit of that scotch burn down the throat.

Otro misil de Founders muy fiel al estilo Scotish Ale. Color marrón oscuro con espuma (leve) color canela. Caramelo avainillado por las notas de madera tostada. Gusto licoroso que te llena la boca (quizás excesivo). No aparecen lúpulos en aroma ni boca.

Sweet with slightly oaky notes, peat, caramel, toffee, bourbon - a touch boozy - delicious.

Has a bright, almost sour taste that isn't my jam. Art is spot on

Astounding! To me, like the perfect Irish whiskey. A balance of scotch and bourbon tastes.
