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.

Mi remate de anoche. Esta vez tenía la madera a tope, y se olía el barril. Me da la sensación de un bosque. Terrosa y maderosa. También tiene un tostado increíble, y el alcohol se siente de una manera cálida y deliciosa, con esas notas claras del Bourbon.

Something about an 11% by the pool feels right. Thanks David T.

Bottled on: 7/17/20... Not even a month old... Subtle caramel and oaky bourbon. Well balanced. The bourbon really hits as it warms up. 11% and goes down smooth.

Broke open a 2012, because it's raining and life is short. Exceptionally well balanced now. Caramel and cream flavors are in perfect agreement with a Scotch ale. Smooth, smooth.
