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.

Smooth, a little boozy, a little roasty, sweet but not overpowering, a really nice slow sipper that opens up more as it warms up.

Yet another fantastic Founders offering. Smooth and rich with a nice bourbon kick at the end.

Recommend by the guy at the register as a good one to go with a stogie. Boy! He was right! Tasty, complex, and slightly sweet with the mild Connecticut wrapped stogie I smoked. Perfect pairing.

Strong and sweet, wee heavy but fizzy and thin again. Liked the Seven Sins Envy more since it had a great caramel depth. Good sipper.

Bold and Boozy brew with a Bourbon forward bite, smooth malts and a slight sweetness.

Lucka 12. Rökig, karmell, lite smörkola. Fantastik. Denna måste jag prova lagra ett par år för en ännu rundare smak. Ganska sträv nu.

Något mindre komplex och känns lite lättare än deras Highball drifter. Bär alkoholen på ett bra sätt

Don't often dole out 5's,but this is pure bliss. Very light smokiness. The bourbon is there. Not at all malty (which I find with 10%+ brews). I really like the caramel hints. Gentle sweet aftertaste. I just hope some are left at the store.
