Commercial Description:
Founders flagship beer. Dirty Bastard is an absolute beautiful beer to behold. Dark ruby in color and brewed with ten varieties of imported malts this beer continuously lives up to its reputation as a bold and powerful ale. Dirty Bastard is complex in the finish with hints of smoke and peat paired with a malty richness, finalized with a good bit of hop attitude. This beer “ain’t fer the wee lads”

Not sure if this is courtesy photomike or SamGamgee. Pours a ruddy rusty brown with a pinkish ecru head. Smokey aroma with some acidity, dark bready malts, light prunes, scotch. Flavor is light on peat but still with a nice smoked character. Dark breads make up the heft of the beer with accents of prunes and alcohol. Some mild hop bitterness in the finish. Nice medium full body.

A dark copper/red ale with just a hint of tan head, leaves nice lace. Aroma is very malty with a whiff of the alcohol breaking through. All of that malt in the aroma comes through in the flavor, along with an unexpected shot of hop bitterness in the finish. A nice take on the style and sure to be a regular in my fridge from now on!

Pours a hazy copper color with nice layer of offwhite head. Aroma is caramel, dark fruits and some boozy ruminess to it. Flavor is nice strong caramel sweetness mixed with sweet dark fruit flavors. Reminds me of some raspberry caramel chocolates I’ve had before. Finish is bitter, dry and roasty with a hint of boozy warmth. Very nice beer.

Bottle. Pours a dark, hazy reddish brown. RUST is the color. Aroma is sweet malt. The flavor is smooth, sweet malt, sugar, and a touch of alcohol.

Muddy brown, cinnamon aroma, great sweetness. More spice, dirty spice and earth. Did someone say spice?

Pours copper with a white head. Smells of sweet malt, some spice, some fruity hints. Tastes of toffee, dark fruit, some bread pudding. Well rounded.

Pours a hazy ruby with a small off white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, bread, and dark fruit. Flavor sweet malt, nuttiness, light fruit, and a bit of bitterness.
