Scotch-Style Ale

So good it’s almost wrong. Dark ruby in color and brewed with seven varieties of imported malts. Complex in finish, with hints of smoke and peat, paired with a malty richness and a right hook of hop power to give it the bad attitude that a beer named Dirty Bastard has to live up to. Ain’t for the wee lads.

35,5cl bottle from Drink Shop, Tallinn. Pours slightly hazy deep ruby to copper coloured with a fairly modest, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, dried fruits, malt and hints of wood. Sweet, very sweet, but still surprisingly drinkable and surprisingly tasty. Usually I wouldn’t be a big fan of beers like this, but somehow it works. It is somehow balanced and it’s surprisingly smooth and drinkable.

Tap at the Birmingham Beer Bash, 2015. Poured a hazy dark brown with a round off white head. The aroma is rich alcoholic fruit, malt. The flavour is moderate to strong sweet with a big sweet chewy malt, spicy, Black Forest gateaux, toffee caramel, heart warming palate. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation and a bubbly mouthfeel.
