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.

Some dark fruit, malt sweetness and scotch notes, with the barrel in the background. 11%ABV is hidden, so be careful. Delightful!

Bottle from December 2019, cellared about a year. Big difference and SO smooth. If you've got some of this, put it away got a while and you will be pleased with the result.

I really like this beer. Aged 3 years and quite honestly it smoothed out to a really nice palatable brew. Just picked up this years and will definitely age it.

BAM

Och och och, dit is weer genieten hoor. Zachte karamel vanille, plus het warme keelgevoel van de eiken bourbon vaten. Dit is echt smullen hoor! Sterke kanjer, dat wel, dus rustig sippen.

Compares to Three Sheeps Veneration surprisingly poorly. Just lacks the complexity and is not as sweet. Need to try in other order. I mean, this is a good beer, one of my favs. But the sweet awesomeness of Veneration...

Verkligen inte min typ av öl. Doften i kombo med smaken funkar inte för mig.

Very creamy and nutty with a scotch-like aftertaste. Dried fruit notes on the nose and a decently smooth finish.
