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.

Moutige geur met veel karamel, wat frisse kruiden en vanille. Volle zoet moutige smaak met duidelijke invloed van het bourbon vat.

Rapidly becoming one of my favorites. Needs to come in a pint bottle - preferably an Imperial pint!

Boozy, oaky, sweet and delicious! Another good find at a Michigan Walmart of all places! I always figured Walmart customers to be more of a Busch Light crowd but I was happy to find this one among the bland macros.

Бочка, очень много бочки, дуб, дым, кофе, леденцовая сладость и горечь от жареного солода. Хорошего и оригинально. Плотности не хватает, но это же эль, а не стаут.

Medium krop og meget hasselnødet inden den potente alkohol slår til spids og spritet mod eftersmagen. Hvor den føles mere tung. Med tiden bliver det sødere og til sidst meget sødt og spritet

My friends say this is one of the best beers they've ever had. Excellent, yes. But I've tried more than them.

From 12/20. Perfectly great. In solemn memory of all who sacrificed everything. May we not forget what they fought and died for.

A very nice scotch ale, plenty of bourbon barrel on the nose, caramel and string malt taste throughout.
