This is the beer that saved Founders from bankruptcy (read more below). Its rich body comes from seven types of malt that’s been balanced with peat, smoke, and hops. So how was it? Let’s get to the review.
Dirty Bastard pours a somewhat clear chestnut brown that shows ruby highlights when it’s set against the light. The ale is topped by a thick cap of dense, pock-marked cream-colored foam that shows great retention. Once the head reduces, a soapy collar and streaks of residue round the glass.
The Scotch Ale’s aroma consists of caramel and toffee with a hint of flowery hops. A note of buttered biscuit appears as the beer warms.
Its palate is predominantly malty and begins with flavors of toasted bread and caramel. The finish is complex and mildly bitter with notes of earthy woods, peat, and floral hops. That bitterness is balanced by a mellow undercurrent of sweet chocolate, toffee, and dark fruits mixed with buttery biscuit.
The Dirty Bastard presents nicely and has a lovely aroma. Aging the brew lends to a lovely balance that’s enhanced further by its decadent feel. Yes, this brew has a high ABV but it isn’t even noticeable at all. And so if you store a Dirty Bastard in your fridge for a while, you’ll have a mellow and tasty easy-drinker.

First released in 2002, Dirty Bastard was the brainchild of our head brewer at the time, Nate Walser and his assistant brewer (our current Brewmaster), Jeremy Kosmicki. Atypical, even for the time, Mike and Dave had the name picked out before the recipe was even completed: ‘Fat Bastard.’. It seemed fitting for a big, malty strong Scotch ale.
