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.

Surprised that I have not posted this beer before. Aged in oak bourbon barrels. Gives a great smooth taste.

This unfortunately goes on my very short but necessary DO NOT DRINK list. It’s horrible. Best described as a poor mix of wine and a bad ipa. I considered going back to the liquor store and asking for a refund. Truly disappointing.

Damn. Bought a 4 pack of this yesterday. Can’t believe it still holds up. Super solid scotch ale and these days will put me on my ass after 1 bottle.
