Jul 18, 2007 Updated: Aug 6, 2007Received in a bottle from a friend! :) I’ve heard a lot about this local small brewery and finally get to sample one of their beer. Rich, strong aroma. Poured a deep red-brown. Creamy small tan head that remained a very thin cap to the end., Left nice lacing. Rich, robust, slightly smoky flavor with very malty, chocolate. roasted malt and earthy taste. Very full body, thick texture, very soft carbonation with a very nice flavorful finish. This beer is one of the best ones I’ve ever enjoyed. Founders has done a great job with Dirty Bastard. I tried this in a tulip. I will definitely add this to my normal rotation of favorite beer. If you like beer dark, rich, thick and full of great flavor this is the beer for you! To me it is excellent!!

Feb 8, 2008 This is one of my favorite Scottish Ales, and they’re my favorite. The aroma is caramely, malty, slightly toasty and slightly alcoholic. It has a wonderful Scotch Ale color. The flavor matches the style while still incorporating hops more than many other Scotch Ales. The palate is smoother though still retains a gritty heaviness. Overall.......YEAH!!! I LOVE IT. GREAT JOB FOUNDERS.

Jun 2, 2005 Amazing, complicated smell, great red color, redish brown with a nutty colored head. Great bitterish flavor. Of the scotch ales i have tried lately, this one is the top for me. Amazing.

Dec 16, 2002 Updated: Dec 3, 2006Bottle... This beer rocks!...Crystal clear, ruby ale. Small, creamy off-white head. Earthy, sweet, peaty, chocolatey, vineous, alcoholic aroma and flavor. In other words, It’s as a Scotch ale should be. Full-bodied and oily with mild carbonation. Sweet, malty-as-all-hell, red hot finish. Terrific! A big THANKS to growler for the bottle!
