Founders Dirty Bastard
12 oz. For some reason I've not rated this one. Have had draft and bottle many times. Fairly dark amber-brown pour with a good layer of cream colored bubbles. A malty aroma, accented with caramel, toffee, vanilla and an ashy woodiness. Taste has a bunch of malt and toffee, but there is a smokey peat or burnt toast that really keeps it in check nicely. Vanilla, oak, finishes with some of the char and faint hop bitterness. Slightly warming, but really no alcohol presence. Medium body with a coating stickiness to it, but not syrupy as it goes away cleanly. One of the first I had of the style, had no idea those years back that this would be one of the best for the style.
