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.

Now this is another great Founders beer, thick boozy with bourbon notes, sweet malty backbone with a slight coconut vanilla tone, tealky

Prachtig. Dik in de rozijnen en subtiel de bourbon smaakbarrel erdoor. Zacht mondgevoel met een lichte brander in de keel.

Heavy taste of sweetness and barrel aged goodness. A bit boozy too. Good full one from Founders!

Caramelo Solano y Bourbon, pesada y muy intensa. Para paladear lentamente. Broche de oro para un día cervecero muy especial.

I have lived this oaky, vanilla-y, boozy bastard for years. A lot of bold flavors come through on this. It feels like it packs more punch than its abv
