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.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Drinkhut, Uithoorn. Dark brown with an off-white head. Dark caramel with roasted malts, dark fruits and some peaty smoke. Sweet taste with a sweet bitter finish. Reminds me heavily of a really strong doppelbock, which is a good thing.

Bottle. Sweetish, really mostly malty / hints of caramel. Moderate on alcohol feel and bit oily texture. Nice

Bottle. Malty aroma, caramel, light coke notes, burned sugar. Tastes the same as aroma, light to medium sweet and bitter. Medium to full body, malty bitter finish. Good.

Bought at Supermarket Liquors in Fort Collins. Bottled October 18th 2018.
Pours a dark reddish brown with an off white head of foam, nice lacing.
Smells of burnt brown sugar, caramel malt, toffee.
The taste is burnt brown sugar which gives it some bitterness, caramel malt brings the sweetness, toffee, maybe some vanilla, kind of toasty.
Fairly light bodied with lightish carbonation, finish is decidedly burnt and bitter.
Not much alcohol interference, still a sipper that I enjoy.

Draught @ Darbys. Amber-brown with a thin head. Toffeeish malt on the nose, and the palate. Nice, mellow bitterness and some toasty malt accents to provide balance. Good stuff.

Bottle. Color: Dark ruby, beige head. Aroma: Sweetish, caramel, vanilla, smoky hints. Taste: Malty, burnt caramel, brown sugar notes, some vanilla. Subtle notes of smoke and peat. Hints of raisins and dark fruit like dates. Medium sweet and moderate to medium bitterness, somewhat more bitterness and bittery palate at the long lasting finish. Bit sticky. Above medium body, below average carbonation. Nice one.

Draft at The Abbot's Ale House, Cork, Ireland. Pours dark plum with practically no foam. Aroma is liquor-like, dry figs, burnt caramel. Body is fairly dense with moderate carbonation. Taste is intensely sweet with limited bitterness. Finish is fairly long and sweet.
