Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale

12 oz bottle. great malt smell. Beautiful deep red-brown color. Strong,sweet malt flavor puctuated by caramel flavor that this style is famous for. Subdues alcohol bite. Just enough hops to balnce the alcohol and malt flavors. I will be drinking more of this

Draft - Dark copper color with average head and nice lacing. You can really taste the carmel and peat in this one. Nice after taste that sticks with you for a while. Will drink this one again. My wife didn’t appreciate, but she only likes the fruity beers. On tap at Cascarelli’s in Homer, MI.

I keep coming back to this beer. It is my go to when I want something solid. Pours a nice deep bronze color. great smell. Taste is caramel, spices, nice hope backbone, dark fruits. Very nicely balanced and extremely drinkable.

Pours pretty cloudy and settles out into a medium tan head that faded pretty quick. Smell is pretty goo, a little light, but the fruits and sweetness are there again. Taste is damn good. I guess I love me some scotch ales.

On draft at Capone’s for the Pliny tasting. Pours deerp bronze with red hues, and a decent size off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, spices, toffee, and fruit. The flavor is sweet, fruit, very smooth, caramel, spices. Very Nice.

Bottle. clear ruby/copper color with a small head. Aroma of toffee and brown sugar. Taste is ’teeth hurting ’ sweet; toffee, caramel, nutty with some spicy hops. Medium to heavy body. Sticky with alcohol texture. Long, sweet finish.

Cloudy reddish brown color with decent off-white head. Sweet, malty aroma of molasses, toffee and dark fruits. Flavor similar to aroma with some added dry nuttiness. Alcohol is slightly more apparent than I would expect.

a smoky, roasted, nutty head with a deep amber color and white head. smells great, looks great, tastes great. a fine scotch ale.
