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.

The gold standard of scotch ales. A bit sweeter than your standard wee heavy, but a world-class beer. The right balance of oak bourbon, roasted malt, smoke, and traces of fruit. Outstanding.

2017 vintage. Still well carbed & with plenty of rich caramel flavor. Nice hints of bourbon, but smells boozier than it taste. Lovely ale.

Неказистая бутылка скрывает сюрприз. Запах самый приятный медово-ванильная дубовая бочка, жженая карамель. Крепкий сорт с привкусом бурбона! Приятно греет 😍

Bourbon, rum raisin, sweet malt. Smooth and lightly bitter to balance out the taste. Excellent.
