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 the best scotch ale I’ve ever tasted, bar none. Bourbon comes in strong up front but finishes silky smooth.

Favorite Founders beer hands down. Best way to warm up in the cold months, with a dessert, or as a night cap. So glad this heavy hitter is year round now!

Yeah this is the bees knees. The old shiner on the bottle should’ve been a clue! Too smooth.

Broke open a 2012, because it's raining and life is short. Exceptionally well balanced now. Caramel and cream flavors are in perfect agreement with a Scotch ale. Smooth, smooth.
