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.

Rich and potent. Bought a bunch of these awhile back, this is the last bottle. Perhaps my fave beer from this brewery.

It's been awhile but it never hurts to check in a classic. Smoky BA scotch ale goodness in a bottle. I love this beer

From the cellar — delicious and rich, complex spice with caramel, vanilla, molasses, and plenty bourbon notes.

Enjoying a back woods classic with a palm tree in the background. Stayed here years ago with Benjamin and Rob. Drinking one for you.

My last one. Love that color & whiskey aroma. Palate is strong with the whiskey dominating. Great beer - a Scottish Ale in a glass stolen (allegedly) from a pub in Ireland… go figure. Same great beer, same great rating.
