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.

Whisky-bier. Zacht, stevig, zoet, caramel, maar bovenal proef je de houten vaten en de whisky.

Been awhile since I gave it a check-in, what a fantastic, oft-overlooked beer.

Solid boozy scotch ale. Opens up as it warms. This one is about 4 years old and it is drinking great.

준식 방

처음엔 끝에 부즈랑 비터가 좀 튀었는데 갈수록 부즈는 줄고 다크초콜릿의 깔끔한 비터만 남음 달콤한 캬라멜과 건과일 다크초콜릿 풍미 굿

Medium body, less than I'd expect for the ABV, a little bitter, a little boozy, spices, feels like a nice balanced BA winter warmer.

Absolutely awesome. One of the greatest Scotch ales I have ever tasted. Served from my cold room which provided slightly cooled temperature, perfect for this type of beer.
