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.

The only thing better than a backwoods bastard is a four pack of backwoods bastard.

This is deep and complex with tons of flavor. It's a nice sipper after a great day. Will drink again

Solid. Oakey boozy n rich. A good way to end the night after a couple of drain pours.

This is a decent scotch ale. Its really smooth & boozy upfront with a lot of oakiness in the backend. Most definitely get a substantial BA profile from the single malt scotch & bourbon barrels. I also detect a slight smokiness and caramel throughout.

Don't believe I haven't checked this beer in before now! Rich caramel flavor... smoky and just a hint of booze as it warms...
