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”

Pours brown with a tan head. Lots of caremel malt in the aroma and taste. The hops show up right off the bat with some flowery bitterness, but fade and the sweetness comes through in the end. Good stuff.

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.
