Brewer's 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.

USA- Roopers Redemp Type: Bottle  Rating: It is nice to be reviewing a good Scotch Ale again (it has been way too long.) Sloshed nailed the description, so there is no need to add more except that I did not notice the ABV as much as he did. The price was very reasonable and it came in a 6er which is great.

Another good offering from Founders.

Distinct flavor, wish I had bought a sixer. User: drewm320  (565 reviews/ratings)  Added: 01-05-2007 Location: Dayton, OH Type: Bottle  Rating: Slightly smoky but I caught lots of caramel and toffee. Very syrupy and full bodied. Almost tastes like a porter. User: sloshed  (2616 reviews/ratings)  Added: 09-21-2006 Location: Portland, Oregon Type: Bottle  Rating: Wife bought this for me online.. Has a sweet butterscotch flavor with a mild peaty/smokey taste. Some hops in the finish which are overpowered by the very evident alcohol. Very tasty beer, however, I really love this style.. This is a good example.
