Founders Brewing Company, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is renowned for its innovative and robust beer offerings. Their Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale is a tribute to the classic Scotch ale style, featuring a complex blend of seven varieties of imported malts. This beer is characterized by its deep ruby color and a rich, malty flavor profile with hints of smoke and peat, reminiscent of a fine Scotch whiskey. The brewing process includes a generous use of hops to balance the sweetness of the malts, resulting in a bold yet smooth finish. With an ABV of 8.5%, Dirty Bastard offers a warming sensation, making it an ideal choice for cooler weather. The beer's robust character pairs well with hearty dishes such as roasted meats and strong cheeses.
