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.

Love the art work on these Founders labels. Also love that oak bourbon barrel taste to this pour. Hosts a pretty hefty 11% ABV due to that single malt scotch smell & taste. I approve!

Spiced vanilla toffee with a zing of dark Christmas pudding fruit and a big boozy bourbon finish. Absolutely cracking.

Love Founders. Love Wee Heavies. Don't love this. Just not quite right. Heavy on oak, not much else.
