Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale

12 oz bottle, pours dark brown, cannot see through it. Frothy tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, malt, and figs, with some slight smoke. Taste of roasted malt, dark fruit, and brown sugar, with slight hop finish. Medium to heavy body, with nice carbonation. Overall, a very nice scotch ale, I would drink more of this! Update: I got a 1/2 barrel of this for my kegerator, and tapped it tonight. On draft, I am enjoying this even more!

Clear brown with a thick off-white head. Chocolate and roasty aroma with burnt sugar, toffee and caramel. Super sweet cocoa and chocolate taste. Coffee and roasted malts abound. Pretty damned good, but not really a Scotch Ale.

Clear brown, no head. Smoky, grapey aroma. Fruity flavor at first, then smokey, earthy notes. Stay woodsy and rustic throughout. Nice stuff, very tasty.

Taste 12/8 Bottle. Looks... Dark and clear with a little lacing of the head. Aroma: Malt peat smoke and a little dark fruit. Taste: MMMM..Really good. Mostly malts. Some smoke earthy and a little fruit. Can not taste the alcohol.

Pretty durn good. Finished the last bottle from my sixer last night, and it was even better than the first five. Creamy, malty, and flavorful. Scottsmen, light your fires.

(10/20/08) Bottle at Tria in Philadelphia. Dark brown color with a beige head, Aroma of rather smoky malt, some dark fruit notes, some nutty hints and caramel. Sweet flavor, slightly smoky, with artichoke notes, some fruits and a bit of toastiness. Medium to full-bodied. A nice Scotch Ale.

(11.22.08) 12 oz. bottle: Pours a dark amber with very little light brown head. Aroma of sweet roasted malts and alcohol. Flavor is malty and sweet, with some caramel. Rich, creamy mouthfeel. Solid Scotch ale.

12 oz bottle. Poured fairly clear dark amber in color with a very nice brown head that left no lacing on the glass. Aroma of white bread toast, lightly sweet malt. Tastes of light toffee, chocolate, dark fruits. Alcohol seemed to be hidden quite well. Not bad.
