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 last of the four pack I’ve had for several months. Boozy with scotch, and an enjoyable sweet oak + caramel pairing. I think this last one is better than the previous few I had some months ago. Bottled 12/17/20.

Everything it tells you is true. Heavy flavorful. Doesn't really leave you with a tongue coat like most dark beers. Worth the extra money. Completely recommend.

I did not know about the 11%abv until I was half thru. Bonus. Really like the caramel flavor. I have no idea if it’s in there but I’m tasting it.

Toffee, caramel and bourbon notes. Heavy body with oak on the finish. Founders makes some of the best regular production barrel aged beers.

I love Founders but not their best effort. To be fair if I had know this was a Scotch style ale I wouldn't have bought it.

A beer defined by wood and smoke. Mildly sweet, but heavy on the tobacco, oak, and bourbon. A light herbal bitterness. Medium-thinner body. Different change of pace from all of the sweet BA beers on the market. 83

Hubby is still working and I’m at home drinking his beer. Think he’ll be mad? “I’m eating your grapes bro!” #impracticaljokers

В аромате виски и Бельгия, во вкусе появляется не очень жирный барливайн с подвяленными фруктами и дымком.

Шикарный баланс вкусов. Бочка из под бурбона прям как родная вплетается в это сплетение. Очень понравилось. В основе ближе всего из чего я пил (на мой взгляд) к рэд элям.
