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.

Not sure I've ever had the KBS and Backwoods Bastard back-to-back. This is very creamy.

Liköörimäinen aromi. Lämmittävä (yllättyneet?). Sellanen perus täyteläinen skotti olemus. Mallas pommi. Kyllä tätä tekisi mieli itse panna

Incredible boozy bourbon flavour coming through with notes of blackberry and oak. It sits heavy in the stomach, definitely the kind of drink to savour and enjoy. Lovely Malty scent too.

Decent. Boozy, and a bit malty. Not sure that it benefited from the cellaring. My earlier grading was probably low for how I grade now, but at five years, it's still reasonable. Also, sitting next to one of the Founders founders. Gotta document it.

Aroma is strong malty with smooth scents of scotch and bourbon. Taste is sweet, thick, fruity, and oaky. Has flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, spice, chocolate, and earthy tones. I poured hard in a tall glass to release the flavors. Sits heavy in tummy.
