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.

I rarely give a 4+, but this is outstanding! Sweet, malty and bourbon barrel aged.

Love a wee heavy, this has really strong barrel aged character lots of bourbon notes, with burnt sugar and dark chocolate.

Massive Bourbon aromas with some vanilla in the finish. Silky smooth despite feeling quite boozy

Rosiner, kaffe, tre, lær og kandissukker eller den belgiske søtheten. God fatpreg. Tørr og ikke søt, gode "mørke" smaker. Har rar en gjørmete ettersmak som trekker ned

I though I checked this in when I bought it. Is a good Ale, was a Great one. Best before -18 might explain to much oxidation. The bourbon barrels is still there though.. Should I rate this old one or the one I bought?

Hammer! Sehr fein. Caramel, Trockenfrüchte und leichte Alkoholnoten in der Nase. Samtig weiches Mundgefühl. Feine Whiskyaromen. Gehaltvoller Abgang. Ich liebe es!
