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.

Bottle picked up at ’Jacks’ Westholme Store, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed at Mums, Worcester, Thames, Friday 28th November 2014. Pours dark brown with light beige head. Huge toffee flavours dominate, lots of bitter sticky bonfire toffee. Yes this is sticky and warming with the alcohol noticeable but to be fair it is far from harsh. It is soft in the mouth a little creamy, really pleasant. Far easier to drink than you’d think. Nice, in fact it works well it is really nice if a tad one dimensional. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Bottle from Bacchus Wine, Olney. Hazy chocolate brown. Heavy scent of molasses, caramel, toast. Gooey sweet malty taste, followed by a bittersweet finish. Very nice but less memorable than Founders best beers.

Clear deep amber nutty color with a fine off white head. Looks really nice. Lovely aroma. Fruity, raisins, toffee and caramel. Full to medium body. A bit sweet, but not to sweet. Stays on the right side. A bit oily texture. This beer really invades your mouth, and stays there. Lovely. Toffee, caramel, fruity, raisins and prunes.

A very dark brown beer with a weak and light brown head. The nose is complex and quite sweet, caramel, raisins, strawberries, wood, generic dried fruits, hint of roasted bread and chocolate. Taste isn’t so sweet than aroma. Taste has dried fruits, raisins, dry wood, bread, clear and nice bitterness in the end. Even the more sweetness of fruits could be there. Medium+ bodied, low carbonation, easy to drink, anyway. Very complex, at least the aroma. Good beer.

The first scent that hits you is milk, followed by coffee, milo and alcohol. I fear someone may have disguised a kahlua and milk. The flavours are similar in the mouth, with the alcohol a little more prominent. Too milky for mine.

Bottle from SuperBest Ama’r Foodmarket, Copenhagen - dark brown coloured pour with beige head. Medium sweet malty aroma and taste, toasty, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, dried fruity and nutty, some spices on the palate, good mouthfeel, nice boozy finish. Quality brew.
