Our final February featured review is Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale from Founders Brewing.
This is a sipping beer for sure I cracked open a window for air, cued up Sleepy Hollow episodes and opened the Bastard to see what a Michigan Scotch Ale is like (and also to see if I wanted to buy the Backwoods Bastard).
The beer is a dark brown with a reddish tint. Getting a medicinal, quinine aroma off of the beer but the taste moves in a different direction. It starts a bit sweet but then drops into a dry, burnt butterscotch/caramel end. A bit of harsh alcohol taste emerges too. Not quite digging this. It feels heavy to drink. Maybe a 4oz pour would be better.
