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.

Big bourbony aroma; lots of malt sweetness (but not overly sweet) with caramel, toffee, and vanilla flavors mingling with the bourbon; another tasty barrel aged sipper from Founders. Always a solid bet.

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

Founders hoort niet te ontbreken. Zachte slok met karamel nasmaak. Een lichte hint naar whiskey. Heerlijk weer!

This one spent 28 months in the cellar. Very, very smooth. The alcohol is almost completely hidden and the fruit tones have grown stronger.

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
