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”

Had on draft at the Brew Kettle. Poured a dark ruby. Beautiful! Smelled a bit like smokey honey. Taste was sweet roasted caramel, malts and grass. I enjoyed this one immensely.

Pours a brown with a hint of red. Small head that continues with a ring around the glass. No lacing. Deep malt aroma. Nothing but malt. Hint of tobacco and a almost barleywine character.

Delicious. One of the tastiest and sweetest scotch ales ive ever tasted. Dark and rich. Smells like sweet coffee and a fruity hint. Not very heavy. Alcohol is not prevelent in the taste.

Tastes like a waterdown black coffee. Good beer if planning on drinking a whole six pack. Not flavorful enough for me. No aftertaste. Texture was watery.

Bottle. Sweet barley malt aroma. Cloudy orange-brown color with small head. Sweet malt and light alcohol/bitter finish. A very smooth and easy drinking scotch ale.
