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.

Not sure what to think about this. Bourbon and scotch upfront.

Bottled a little over 3 yrs ago - still drinking very well! Nice barrel at the nose and smooth on the palette @ 11%

Very good Scotch Ale, notes of oaky bourbon, caramel, fruity. Not too sweet. Definitely on my "get more" list.

This one was very drinkable, despite the high ABV. Nothing really stands out about the taste, but it’s all good. It’s sweet, strong, and smooth with a bourbon finish.

Rafe Kalkis

Many good notes for me. It's got a baseline oak aged flavor that makes it darker and roasty with rye spice. Scotch and caramel with vanilla.

06/15/22的酒。一款很波本的啤酒。温度较低时,总体是非常干净的波本香气,带有一丝烟熏、黑巧克力和深色水果。回温后,感觉波本香气被充分展开,前段微甜,主要是类似椰子糖、奶油糖的味道,中段似乎有木头的单宁感,后段干苦,但回味会有一些糖果的甜味,微弱的干果蜜饯味贯穿始终。很好喝!

Very malty, caramelly and boozy. Heavy bourbon and some smokiness. Mouthfeel is a bit thin for all these big flavors. A good one neverthless.

Förjävlago fredagsöl. Dessa ekfatslagrade öl har jag en svaghet för och den här var inget undantag till skillnad från Omnipollon igår. Passar dessutom utmärkt till gulaschsoppan.

Like coming back from the state fair and thinking back on the fireworks, until you fall asleep. That's how much the flavour lingers.

2015 vs 2021 on 1/5/22…side x side comparison …. 2015 sweeter, less carbonated. 2021 brighter, more carbonated.
