hopIQ found 10 beers with the same oak and vanilla character as Backwoods Bastard. Backwoods Bastard is Dirty Bastard, the brewery's Scotch-style ale, matured in bourbon barrels and bottled at 11 percent. It pours a deep ruby brown. The barrel adds oak, vanilla and a whiskey warmth to the malt base, and a light smoky note sits beside sweet caramel and roasted grain. Raisin, fig and a little earthy spice appear as it warms. The body is full and smooth, bitterness stays in the background, and the finish is long and warming. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
