Miguel; This Scotch Bastard sting the nostrils. Strong scents of bourbon, cherries, and oak. The taste, oh the taste. Sweet malts, cherries, and caramel. Back that with the bourbon and oakiness and this is a lovely beer. Oh yah there is also a nice maple syrup like taste too. Great Job Founders!
Score; 4.5638
The Ferm; This is a quite pleasant sipper. The bourbon brings out some nice qualities throughout the entire experience. Hints of vanilla, bourbon, maple, and grain; attack the palate. Very enjoyable beer that makes me want it on pancakes in a syrup form…..yum pancakes and backwoods bastard, what a combination. I should call them Bastard Cakes!
Score; 4.021
Overall: 4.2924

That one sounds pretty good. So you would just put the beer directly onto the pancakes or mix it with some syrup first? I really with Founders beers would make their way down here. I’ve tried a couple and all have been very good.

Ferm you would eat anything with beer or beer poured on it right.

Haven’t seen this one yet — but he looks like the husband of the old lady on the Red Rye PA bottle…how much was it?
