FOUNDERS DIRTY BASTARD SCOTCHISH ALE 12オンス 6本パック

That 8.5% ABV sneaks up on you, but the smoke and peat come through just right with every sip, especially as it warms. It’s rich and heavy without feeling syrupy, and the 50 IBU keeps the sweetness in check. I’ll be grabbing another six-pack for the colder nights.

The malt complexity is incredible—I can taste the richness from those seven varieties with every sip. At 8.5%, it warms nicely without being boozy, and the 50 IBU gives just enough bitterness to balance the sweetness. Perfect for a cold evening.

That smoky peat aroma hits you right as you pour, and the malty richness is even more complex than I expected from a Scotch ale. The 8.5% ABV is nicely hidden behind all that flavor, so it warms you up slowly. Definitely my new go-to for cold nights.
