Founders Backwoods Bastard is a Scotch Ale by style. 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. This beer is 11.2% ABV and 50 IBUs. In this beer review, we will look at the color, smell, and taste.
