Founders Backwoods Bastard
appearance: transparent dark copper, pours with a small amount of carbonation. The small amount of bubbles struggle to the top. Looks like a aged English B.W. Very impressing. smell: sweet and malty, then a big hit of oak and bourbon. Im a bit worried, maybe some hot alcohol. taste: wow, very smooth. Sweet, raisons, does have some aged English B.W. aspects, but the oak/bourbon is at the forefront. Slight hops. Has some complexity. I wish that there was a 4.25 mouthfeel: medium, alcohol is well hidden. drinkability: very enjoyable. I wish that I had a few to age. I'm rounding up my rating in a few areas. I'd say a very good result for what I'm assuming is a new take on the style.
