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.

Phwoooar what a big boozy bastard this is.. the scotch ageing is very prominent, it doesn't say what it is on the bottle but it tastes like a barley wine almost, but untappd says a scotch ale. A scotch ale aged in scotch whisky barrels. Awesome!

Pulled a 3/20/18 bottle from the cellar to try. Now 3 years old still holding up well. Sweet and smooth on the taste buds followed by the taste of Scotch.

This is a great sipper, despite being 11% by volume and barrel-aged. It's neither bitter nor syrupy-sweet, just balanced and mature with a nice, dark-caramel color. Not a bastard, just your new BFF of ales.

If you like a Scotch Ale but want something... a little extra extra, this is your beer. I found it very strong with heavy caramel flavor. And that 11% kicks...

Smooth roasty notes. Whisky barrel flavor, but sweet upfront with a boozy aftertaste. Smmoth for 11% abv and very drinkable
