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 used to not like BBA beers, but in the past year or two, have grown to not only appreciate them, but to enjoy. I used to enjoy this beer so little, I would give away the remainder of the 4 pack; not anymore.

Aroma is strong malty with smooth scents of scotch and bourbon. Taste is sweet, thick, fruity, and oaky. Has flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, spice, chocolate, and earthy tones. I poured hard in a tall glass to release the flavors. Sits heavy in tummy.

Is what it ways it is. Smooth, simple w/ those 2 flavor profiles, and done well. Enjoyable but nothing extraordinary. But Important to say, this was way ahead of its time.

Good name for celebrating a won at 'boro. Strong and sweet and definitely a touch of barley wine about this. Barrel ageing not overwhelming but a warming and vanilla finish.
