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.

Algo cansina pero interesante. Como olvidé registrarla en su momento, ahora no puedo hacer más que escribirlo en la leyenda: The Holy Cross, Salamanca

Has a kick. Better as it warms up. But bitter.

An Ale that hits ya fast when drinking harder than the average recreational drinker. Assuming that Founders KBS was started after brewing this one, it’s eerily similar the the original Breakfast Stout. Caramel and bourbon highlight this, with a heavy ABV

JAN21 checkin. Thick, dark brown with medium/low carbonation. Sweet smelling and tastes like honey in background. Smooth and oily, highly recommend!

Can't believe I've never had this before. Chocolatey and sweet. Surprisingly the mouthfeel is a little watery, but the scotch aromas and flavors are heavenly

Kanske inte säsong direkt, smakar som får en att transporteras i tid och rum. Det är juldag, sittandes vid öppna spisen så smuttar jag på denna godsak och njuter.

Oooopppsss, this is a hell of a beer. Fat and creamy, dark ripe prunes top sweet choc and boozy notes. These Founders guys know how to brew beer, pff

This one was bottled on my birthday and may have been named after me, so I had to buy it.

A really tasty Scottish ale. A lot of bourbon flavor but it tastes great. 11% ABV so tread carefully.
