(Grand Rapids, MI) – The latest from Founders Brewing Co. per Friday’s newsletter…

It’s that time of the year when the Backwoods Bastard shows his face again. This bourbon-barrel-aged Scotch Ale has been filling the brewery with its boozy aroma for the past couple of weeks. It will be available on draft and in bottles in all of our markets beginning November 1. Here’s a brief description of the beer:

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.

10.2% ABV, 50 IBUs
