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.

Sipping beer. Oaken earthy barrel smell. Like cracking open a bottle of bourbon with hints of oak and maple. It has enough ABV to warm you as you drink it. I have a love-hate relationship with this beer, I love it but I hate it.

Smoky and sweet aromas. Close your eyes and you can almost see those bourbon barrels. Hints of spice and caramel are prominent, but a nice scotch rounds out the flavor. You wouldn’t know it’s 11% ABV without reading the bottle. Bravo

Buaaa. El abuelo de la Dirty Bastard. Madera y bourbon para difrutar. Entra dulce y acaba más seca con un puntillo de acidez de la barrica. Brutal

Аромат виски, сухофруктов, древесные тона, вяленое яблоко. Плотное, тягучее на вкус. Жженая карамель, темный шоколад.Согревающее послевкусие

Mi remate de anoche. Esta vez tenía la madera a tope, y se olía el barril. Me da la sensación de un bosque. Terrosa y maderosa. También tiene un tostado increíble, y el alcohol se siente de una manera cálida y deliciosa, con esas notas claras del Bourbon.

Bottled on: 7/17/20... Not even a month old... Subtle caramel and oaky bourbon. Well balanced. The bourbon really hits as it warms up. 11% and goes down smooth.

Aquí hay mucha fruta roja pasa, vainilla. Dulzor moderado, alcohólica, notas terrosas y a toffee. Menciona ahumado en la etiqueta pero no lo percibo. Peligrosa.

Очень мягко заходит, а потом очень мощно накрывает сингл молтом. Обалденно идеальное пиво для посиделок у костра в лесу.
