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.

Great whiskey-guy beer. Soft notes with just enough spice and oak barrel taste

A wee heavy Scottish ale that is bourbon barrel aged! Ummmmm A little boozy but what the heck! More of a sipping beer than a guzzler.

Great beer. Like an old ale with vanilla, wood, bourbon, maybe some dark fruit.

Весьма приятная штука, в ароматике карамельная конфета и бурбон, на глотке, карамель, нотка ванили, бочка, бурбон, в послевкусии карамельная сладость и ваниль, алко скрыт и не выпирает.

I’m warming up to the barrel aged series, definitely better the second time around.

Do I want a beer or a 2oz shot of scotch neat? This beer in the barrel aged series gives you both. The single malt scotch and bourbon flavors pair wonderfully. Definitely a nice kick-back sipper that leaves the palate excited for more
