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.

Oef. Een van de vele geweldenaars van Founders. Met een bourbon-boost waar ik erg blij van word. 🇺🇸

I've definitely had this one before, and it's just as good. Sweet with scotch. The haul from Michigan was especially good on this delivery.

This has been in the fridge for a long time! It’s the last resort before the designated “In case of emergency break”. Thanks, my friend!

Uno de los birrotes del 2021. Terriblemente deliciosa e intensa. Aromas de pasas, ciruela, guindas en licor. Boca caramelosa, melaza, cacao, regaliz, fondo tostado, avellana. Glicérica. Cuerpo denso y gas fino. Amargor final y cálida astringencia. Muy top

Eine totale Stroboskopkonzentration des Stils. Alles da, aber ³. Süß, beerig, schokoladig. Grandios, aber überzeichnet für die Kategorie.

Toffee, caramel and bourbon notes. Heavy body with oak on the finish. Founders makes some of the best regular production barrel aged beers.

В аромате виски и Бельгия, во вкусе появляется не очень жирный барливайн с подвяленными фруктами и дымком.
