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.

My friends say this is one of the best beers they've ever had. Excellent, yes. But I've tried more than them.

Rapidly becoming one of my favorites. Needs to come in a pint bottle - preferably an Imperial pint!

Very boozy beer, the scotch is present in the first sip but it is not overpowering. Nice sipping beer.

Sweet and boozy. Tasty bourbon notes. Wee heavy indeed, think I’m done with ladders today. Warren County takes pride in everything they do!

Bottled 2020. Still delicious but I’m tainted after having the maple variation of this.

I am drinking a fresh bottle of Backwoods. This is extremely smooth and easier drinking compared to many past years. It's really good. I hope they do Better Half again too, and soon.

This bastard is a scotch ale that can be enjoyed easily. Drinks easier, and faster than the typical barrel aged. And tasted better too - from start to finish. This is a winner!
