2015 Founder's Backwoods Bastard
Bottled: 10/06/15
De-Bottled: 11/12/15
11.6% ABV
Definitely a bit of oak in this one. Raisins right off the front. Warm finish for a minute or two. There is a bit more of the bourbon flavors on the finish. I was drawn to the beer really on labeling alone. Sort of a mysterious hermit character with a double bit. I'm not hugely for or against oak-aged beer, I have had good and bad examples. The backwoods bastard is great. High drink-ability, appropriate bitterness, balanced by tart fruit flavors. I have a lot of faith in Founder's ability to release great beer. This beer is no exception.
