The perfect cold spring day beer!

[stevej37]

Been a while since I've had one of these. I forgot how good they are.
A syrupy bourbon taste that is different than any other beer I've had .
A barrel-aged ale. 11% abv by Founders.

[ramonesfreak]

man I wish I had some of those in the fridge right now

and a nice bowl of my wife's french onion soup

and some of her homemade fried mozzarella stix with marinara sauce

[stevej37]

^^^
Sounds like the ultimate combo! (I'm getting hungry)

I'm not a fan of the barrel ages Ale unless it's a Porter or Stout. The lighter beers ages in bourbon barrels just don't seem the same to me.

[stevej37]

^^^ Normally, I'm not either.
If you've ever had and liked KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) or their plain Breakfast Stout...guaranteed you will like the Backwoods Bastard.

It's not a beer to down when very thirsty....it's heavy.

[cabmandone]

So it's a darker beer? If so I'm in! I've had several brown and red barrel aged beers that I just didn't care for.

BTW. LOVE KBS

[stevej37]

It looks like coffee.

If it is barrel aged, than for me it will always be Innes & Gunn. Although I do enjoy some Founders offerings, too.

[QUOTE=cabmando;11305022]So it's a darker beer?


In the interest of showing the color...I poured another one.
Now..what to do with it?....hmm.

[stevej37]

Here is a great review of their 'All Day IPA' beer.

They just announced today, a new beer.....All Day Vacay.

[ramonesfreak]

went to my local store to get this but no dice. thay had morning stout and a couple others

i’ll try again tomorrow. i’ve already placed an order with my wife for the snack items i require (above)

[ramonesfreak]

here’s what the mozzarella stix look like - from a few weeks back. using fresh mozzarella of course

[stevej37]

^^^ That looks great...I love mozzarella!

Yeah...it's not easily found..even around here. Their tap-room has all their offerings.

If you go to their website, they have a beer locater. (foundersbrewing.com)

Our Walmart has it...but every Walmart has their own distributor.
If you have 'Meijers' there...they have it.

He should be the spokesman for the company.

Try some of Revolution's 'Deth' series if you can. Not sure if it's available outside Chicago, though.
