Founders Dirty Bastard
I am a big fan of this beer. It poured a deep red hue, with a thin off-white head that disappeared quickly, and I thought it'd last a little longer. I smelled tons of sweetness, like molasses, with a little alcohol at the end. Ahhh...the taste was wonderful. Sweet molasses right off, with dried (and thus sweet) fruit like currants or maybe raisins. Then, and I love this about Scottish Ales, came that smoky flavor. It reminds me of what the peat fires smell like in Ireland where my wife and I honeymooned. Or...uh...like scotch. Hmm.... Thick and creamy mouthfeel, like Rogue Dead Guy. I'd have to be in the mood to drink a bunch of these in a row, but I will make sure there are a few in my beer fridge at all times.
