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.

Faded a tad. Lots of licorice, coffee, slightly burned caramel, loads of bourbon, quite boozy nowadays, not as balanced and smooth, oxidation has also started to take its toll.

Fantastic flavor and scent. Like it just came out of a barrel. A definite must try if you like strong flavors

DecAnt! Wonderfully devoloped charred scotchiness. Frothy/pruney mid temps warm to unyieldingly smoky, boozy full body flavor, somewhat less entertaining but plentily palatable. Close to 4 but props for consistently well executed barrel aging en masse.

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

Front forward malty, smoky flavor. Smooth tasting, finishes with a hint of bourbon. Recommend!

Amazingly sweet, boozy, whiskey barrel aroma! Lots of flavor! Thick, boozy malt with some smoky (almost peaty) notes.😋 Finishes a little bitter, but still with some lingering malty bourbon.

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

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