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鈥檚 a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate. Distribution Note: Now available year-round beginning April of 2018.

Thick and heavy but the high ABV doesn鈥檛 make it undrinkable. Quite the contrary

Caramel bourbon. Packs some heat but also is pretty smooth and easy to drink.

Even though I typically like Founders, I put off trtung this because I thought the name was dumb and the bottle art unappealing. I鈥檓 glad I finally bought it. Very tasty.

Virkelig l忙kker og tydelig smag af bourbon, dog uden at blive sprittet. Meget velsmagende!

Ooit eens in Cork een Jameson Red Brest op en deze komt heel dicht bij. De combinatie van zoete, romige tonen met een goede whiskey smaak!

Pretty tasty! Dark, sweet, boozy. Barrel-aged, but on the lighted side, with just a touch of bourbon. A bit more crisp than expected. Not syrupy.

Very creamy and boozy. You can definitely pick up on the whiskey flavor. Great late night winter beer.

2nd. On reste sur la sauce soja au nez, des baies (cassis, m没res) un petit c么t茅 caramel, une bonne dose de malt, le tout envelopp茅 dans le whisky/bourbon. Une belle longueur sur le biscuit malt茅 (peu de sucre)
