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.

Идеальный вечерний напиток, максимально сбалансированный, богатый, а главное регулярный. Не грех и перепить из свежего завоза.

The first ba beer I ever had. Love to revisit every so often. I can see why this was probably the reason I gravitate to Barleywine. Still love my stouts but the character of these deep amber beers are insane. Still great. Cheers!

Late check-in from last night. The🍺is an appropriately strong Scotch ale from Founders. The movie ✅ checks another box for the HoopTober challenge and makes 2 of 3 Asian films now. “Seoul Station” is an animated prequel to the superb “Train to Busan.”

Есть такие пивоварни, увидев в продаже которые сразу понимаешь - "это того стоит". Для меня это как раз оно. Нос тягучий, карамельный, в барлик. Вкус на балансе - солода, спирт, нотки щепы - это крепко, спирта много, но это именно то, что мне видется

Wow! This is a cheeky brew, it's not what you anticipate it to be. It slides past your pallet really easy. The aftertaste is clean, crisp and vaguely nutty.

Excellent, scotch ale with a good single malt whiskey. Barrel flavor. The description from Founders is on point. This was bottled 7-17-2020
