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.

Strong and boozy. Tastes like bourbon and scotch flavored beer.

Good. Slightly sweeter than my scotch ale preference. Bourbon notes are prominent.

Солодово, карамельно, с отчетливой бочкой на послевкусии, тело среднее. Пьется очень приятно, отличный эль.

It is malty, semi-sweet, and the bourbon is noticeable in a great way too. A heck of a beer.

Na een aantal stuks Hertog Jan achter over hebben getikt in het restaurant voor schoonvaders zijn verjaardag, is het nu toch weer tijd voor het echte werk. Zacht, barrels, tikkeltje boozy en iets van karamel.

Founders means quality. One of their best. Not distinctive aroma. Dark red color. Medium body. Sweet, biscuit, butter, bourbon, malts. Perfect mouthcoating. Sweet bourbon after.
