Founders Dirty Bastard

I got to go to one of my favorite beer stores recently while visiting, so I made myself a mixed 6 of beers I've been wanting to try.  One of the beers I picked was Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale:

Vittles:
Strong Scotch Ale
8.5% abv
50 IBUs

Score:
Appearance: 9/10
Aroma: 24/25
Taste: 38/40
Mouthfeel: 9/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 93/100

Impression:
I love the deep, rich, ruby color, and the light yellow of the head looks and smells like hoppy deliciousness.  The malt backbone is complex and crackery with notes of toasted malt, caramel, molasses, and dark fruits.  There is also a touch of hops character on the back end.  The flavors are about what I expect with a nose like that, and the sweetness of the malt balances nicely with the hop bitterness.  I also taste some estery notes and a little warm vanilla after I swallow the beer.  The mouthfeel is very full-bodied and creamy.  This may be the best wee heavy I've had so far.

Cheers!
