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.

Fire 🔥 !!! Smokey and oaky with a bit-o- malt. As expected so this is not a disappointment.

It’s a little more refined than many of the barrel aged brews I’ve had. It reminds me of a nice single malt.

D’un brune cuivrée, cette barrel age est vieillie dans des fûts de sigle malt scotch 🥃 caramel, fumée, alcool, boisée, épicée et quelque peu fruitée. Elle est loin d’être plate. 11%

Went to the local distributer looking for barley wine and this was the closest thing they had. I am very glad this was recommended, the malty, Carmel notes are prominent without an overbearing scotch note is drinks very easy for 11%; would drink again!

Diep donker bruin met een rode gloed en een volle crème schuimkraag. In de geur bourbon en tonen van mokka/schokolade. Vol in de smaak met meteen de boubon, gebrand (mout), verwarmd door de 11%. Wat bitter en droog in de afdronk. Lekkere jonge.
