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.

Not very heavy. Great flavor. Not syrupy in a good way. It has just barely a bit of coffee flavor and not being a coffee lover, it's still good.

Mmmmm. Yup that sums it up! Complex with coffee, roasted malts, vanilla and the mighty bourbon on the nose. Has some sweetness and the finish is pure boozy bourbon. I like it!

Just lovely rich, deep and malty with bourbon barrels adding warmth, vanilla and booze.

Woodsy. Kinda sweet but a lot of bitterness to balance it out, kind of a like coffee. Smells a lot like scotch.

Warm: honestly this beer is great either way but I prefer it warm. This is the dirty bastard on steroids. The flavor is rich and deep with a very strong whiskey/bourbon taste. A slightly sweet aroma. Not cheap but worth it IMO. Also 1 is enough.
