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.

Awesome bourbon, sweet middle but soft mouthfeel for a stout.

Very heavy beer and a tad too sweet for my taste.

One of my absolute favorite beers a scotch ale boozed up with bourbon barrel aging. Caramel flavor with vanilla hints & sweetness #Michigan #craftbeer

В запахе алко и орех. Во вкусе еще более яркая алкогольная нота, чистый вискарь. На послевкусие небольшое послабление, в сладкую сторону.

2014 from someone's basement, but this one is still pretty tasty, as is this AMAAAAAAAAAZING Apple Pie Kit Kat. It tastes just like an apple pie. Just need some whipped cream next time.

Nose: Malty, bourbon, boozy, dark fruit, light smoke. Sharp bitter, malty tonguetip; malty, boozy later, sharp again in the aftertaste with a strong malty note... Tobacco and malt when warm.

Nice blend. Bourbon flavor is nice and smooth spicy sweet end to it.

Toffee and caramel upfront, scotch bourbon on the backend. For a 11%er, hides the booze well. Plus, I love that Eric after 10 years of marriage is on the bottle

Oops, I accidentally opened this beer I found on my porch. It's a little early, but I've been on Zurich calls for hours and it's already mid-afternoon there....sooooooo....🍺

В запахе - бурбонная бочка с древесными тонами, горький шоколад (запах долго не продержался и после налива пропал). Вкус - на глотке небольшая пустота, затем бурбон, отдающийся легкой ликерной алкогольностью, после горький шоколад с остатками от бочки

Immense toffee and wood. A hint of smokiness along with subdued vanilla and nutty sweetness.
