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.

Strong, smooth and full of bourbon. I guess the remainder of this will spice up nicely my chantarelle pasta! 🍝🍻💪

On the dark side for a few. This is another solid Founders offering. Scotch ales are always a safe bet, at least in my book.

Oops, I accidentally opened this beer I found on my porch. It's a little early, but I've been on Zurich calls for hours and it's already mid-afternoon there....sooooooo....🍺

В запахе - бурбонная бочка с древесными тонами, горький шоколад (запах долго не продержался и после налива пропал). Вкус - на глотке небольшая пустота, затем бурбон, отдающийся легкой ликерной алкогольностью, после горький шоколад с остатками от бочки

Thinner but not less complex because of it. Kind of amber. But Smokey and deep. Could be a bit more creamy.

Tastes like carbonated bourbon. Very strong bourbon aroma.

Super peaty/smokey with good amount of oak and a little vanilla and tobacco. Smooth and deceiving for 11%, but also seems a little thin.

If Founder’s Dirty Bastard is the benchmark of Scotch ales (it is), this is what happens when you turn it to 11. The best Scotch Ale you can find without hunting high and low.

Действительно танинная тема. Выдержка есть. Не приторный, сухенький. Но "грязный ублюдок" получше.

Definitely a slow-sipper. First impression is "very sweet"! After-taste is more complex, malty, bourbony... I think the taste description on the bottle is v accurate!
