as anyone noticed that the Founders Dirty Bastard has changed lately?
I know the alc. went from 8.3% to 8.5% in the last year or so,
the beer looks lighter than it use to, more of a red candy-ruby,
and it appears the aromas and flavors have changed to, it does not have the earthy, smoke, brown sugar, molasses with chewy caramel malt aromas that was there a couple of years ago but has more candy sweet aromas, the flavors are not as intense, not as much caramel or dark malt flavors, the mouth feel seems to have thinned out a bit,
I would say this drink has slipped away from being the Scotch Ale it once was, Dirty Bastard use to be one of my favorite drinks but I have been disappointed with the samples I have had lately,
I am not trying to put Founders down, they make some great brews,
but I am just wondering if anyone else has noticed this change in Dirty Bastard.
Also, the Dark Horse Scotty Karate Ale, the latest sample I had was loaded with smoke, lots of it, as if this was a smoke beer rather than a Scotch Ale, I know Scotch Ales should have some peaty, smoke aromas but the Scotty was really smokey, anyone else noticed this?
