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.

Lovely sipper. Boozy, but not overly so. Lots of subtle flavors. Total winner.

I'm not sure who I'm for in the game, but I knew what beer I'd drink... Been saving this beer ever since we knew it was Georgia vs Alabama.

Very malty and smooth. Not real bitter like many others. It packs a punch at 11%ABV but it’s not too strong.

Why have I not had this before? Magnificent onslaught of sweet, cocoa malt and booze. Do not pair this with food. Great for drawing cartoons with.

Very nice bourbon flavor and oakiness form the barrel aging. Some vanilla and then just solid overall. Very rich and enjoyable sipping beer.

Гаечка

Отдаёт хорошим мягким коньяком (да, я в курсе, что бочки от бурбона).

Stout McPorter

Muy heavy. Recuerda a la Diry Bastard pero con un aabor a roble o ahumado mas profundo. Deliciosa para acompañar con un queso fuerte en invierno. Sin duda, Top 5 de las Stout de Founders. Muy recomendable, tanto en olor, como sabor y cuerpo.

Syvä ja täyteläinen. Rusinaista makeutta, marjaisuutta, tummaa suklaata, bourbonia. Pitkä maku, jonka lopussa hento humalan bitter. Maut hienossa balanssissa. Erinomainen kalja pimeisiin loppusyksyn iltoihin!

Delicious. Thought would be stronger on the scotch flavors but otherwise description (bourbon, caramel, dark fruit) was spot on.
