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.

Holy shit. I've found the spoon beer to beat all spoon beers. The bourbon flavor is extra delightful.

Oh this is a boozy beer.... Scottish ale barreled with a strong liquor back. Sip a bit and call it a night

Not much with this one. I didn’t get a lot of the scotch or bourbon taste. Kinda tasted fruity somehow. Not a winner.

Good for a stout in my opinion. Don’t usually like darks. I would do a small amount, like a flight tasting.

I had forgotten that I picked this up at Total Wine & More the other day, thereby making this a pleasant find in the garage fridge. Strong, sweet, and quite smooth....this is perfect for a Friday night.

This is pretty good it has a little bit of sweetness from the scotch ale and then a little bit of boozyness from the barrel.
