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.

Scotch, malt, nutty, sweetness. Smells so bad I don’t even want to drink it. Oh wow, tastes nothing like it smells. Don’t really like Scottish style ales, but this isn’t too bad.

Awesome bourbon aroma and a great taste that follows. New favorite of a Wee Heavy barrel aged.

Estupendo aroma de caramelo. El sabor no te lo esperas, no es fácil de beber pero en ello reside su gracia. Advierto que antes me había tomado un vermú 😬

Very nice barrel aged taste. It was sweet but not too sweet. Very nice vanilla / caramel type flavor.

I really liked Dirty Bastard, so I grabbed a 4 pack of these. Similar to the Dirty Bastard, but thinner and a bit more dry. Worth a buy, at least once.

Really a great beer from one of my favorite breweries. A bit of smoke with the bourbon notes brings out the slightest sweetness to go with a complex blend of flavors, wishing it came in a bigger bottle.

Mooi bier, de bourbon voegt veel toe aan zo'n Scotch wee/heavy. Verder niet heel bijzonder per se, maar wel erg lekker!

Smooth and delicious, considering it’s high ABV content. I was pleasantly surprised by this and definitely recommend sitting with the drink for a while and letting Founders, “ignite your senses,” for the taste of a solid Scotch Ale.

Aroma: Brown sugar, vanilla, maple, and molasses. the breadiness underneath and then a whiff of booze. It's not overly sweet, maybe the 50 ibus mute with a stealthiness. A good beer
