1st i'd heard of this one....went to check it out, and saw it was a Scotch ale.First of my backwoods bastard.....wow:bottle:
It'd be nice to have the option of case purchases for certain things. If you move to PA you have to hunt down a "bottle shop" which is a restaurant with a to go beer sales license. Other than that you have to buy cases all day long......Spaten Oktoberfest...
Heard it through the grapevine Costco had cases for $22.99.....and I'd never had it. Bought a case....drank a few...
Went back and bought another case. The fact you can buy by the case is appealing, but the less than $1/beer price tag makes it a no-brainer.
If you are looking to try a damn good "Heavy Scotch Ale" see if you can find "Pale Horse" Winter Seasonal....very, very tasty!1st i'd heard of this one....went to check it out, and saw it was a Scotch ale.
Only Scotch ale i'd had before was Skull Splitter outta the UK. One of the only beers off the top of my head I can recall pouring out. Wow was right! Rates A- on BeerAdvocate, but that's one I just didn't get. I'm sure others out there aren't as intense, but lets just say i'm skeptical of this style atm.
I like some scotch ales and hate others. But, Backwoods Bastard has me intrigued since it's aged in bourbon barrels. Should be pretty darn good :dunno:1st i'd heard of this one....went to check it out, and saw it was a Scotch ale.

I had my firstr one last night. I have to say what I found amazing is that at 10.2abv there was no alcohol taste what-so-ever. Also, the beer was very thick and only had the faintist wisper of bourbon barrel taste. Some beers go over the top with the wood aged flavor.I like some scotch ales and hate others.

If you think it's good in the bottle you should try it on tap at the brewery.I had my firstr one last night.

This one got it right on a couple levels. I'm going back to my beer store to buy more!
