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.

Low carbonation, sweet carmelized flavor. Definite bourbon notes.

It's not as sweet as a lot of the barrel-aged stouts, and it has a bit more carbonation. Meant to be sipped but goes down really smoothly...

My favorite beer for camping, sitting by the campfire, or just sitting on a mountain top

Still one of the best Scotch Ales, IMO. Barrel just adds to th fun.

Tasted this right after Dirty Bastard. The bourbon barrel aging made an awesome improvement!

It's more than a wee heavy. It's a middle heavy. Boozy. Sweet. Dates. Bourbon.

Nog een toppertje uit het Founders-gamma. Gerijpt op eiken bourbonvaten. Best lekker! Niet te verbazen in een toplocatie als de gebrande winning!
