hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and bitter character as Dirty Bastard. Dirty Bastard is a Scotch-style ale of 8.5 percent and one of the beers that made Founders known. Specialty malts, among them abbey and crystal malts, give it a dark ruby colour. Caramel and toffee lead, with dried fruit, a hint of tobacco and a touch of spice behind them. The malt brings a rich sweetness, while Nugget and Willamette hops add a firm bitter edge that keeps the full body in check and leaves a complex, slightly warming finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
