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.

I rarely give a 4+, but this is outstanding! Sweet, malty and bourbon barrel aged.

Massive Bourbon aromas with some vanilla in the finish. Silky smooth despite feeling quite boozy

Not had this since '95 from Fulford bottle shop RIP. Rich fruity dark malt, sweet caramel & bourbon barrel. Nothing backwards about this beauty. 👌🍺🇺🇲
