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.

This is a strong one, not a fruity beer like the first tonight.

Looking for an alternative for a dram of whiskey? This has a delicious scotch fragrance, slighty spiced, but malty and definitely warms you on a cold February day.

Warm mondgevoel. Bourbon. Hout. Zoet. Lekker met dit koud weer.

A little aged - not as good as I remember - sweet, boozy, a bit of peat, molasses, bourbon - a touch vinous/port wine at backend. Need to try fresh bottle.

Barrel (bourbon) forward, but works wonders because the barrel aligns with the beer style. See taste profile..

Tiukkaa kamaa. Paksua viskisyyttä, alkoholi ei tunnu, todella dokattava.

Not too boozy for an 11 hitter. Sweet, malty, drunk. 👌🏻

Dark mahogany. Aroma leads with bourbon, followed by sweet caramel, vanilla and oak. Dark fruit character joining at the tasting part. Warming, boozy finish. A pleasant surprise. The aroma department particularly stands out, in a good way.

Thick, heavy, strong and sweet. Toffee and maple really comes through. Butterscotch, liquorice salty finish. Very complex but beautifully balanced. Damn good!

Complex taste of coffee, whisky and oak, first barrel aged beer I tried, a little overpowering but nice to sip slowly

been over 5 years since i've had this one, so nice to revisit it. picking up an odd umami kelp-y/seaweed-y note in the aroma but otherwise probably one of the best easily-accessible BBA beers. tons of smoky caramel bourbon flavour, zero alcohol presence
