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.

Super sweet caramel candy flavor. Quite boozy in taste and even stronger in effect. This brew packs a punch and definitely earns the title of Bastard. The sweet flavors clash a bit with its boozy character in a way that makes it nearly medicinal.

Wanted to leave it at 4.4/5 but it counts in .25 increments. Good scotch beer!

Tastes like a mixture of a lot of flavors. Thus, the name fits. Seems too busy though. It's definitely a sipper and enjoyable on an evening like this. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

If I was in the correct mood, I may rate it differently. Did not realize it was aged in oak bourbon barrels when I grabbed it outta the fridge. VERY boozy.
