Squatch Ale
Chaos Mountain Brewing

 

 

Pours about the color of iced tea with a minimal white-ish head that quickly disappears. Kicks off a pleasant malty, sweet aroma. Flavor profile is rides on that smell - malty, sweet plus a sort of nutty-ness. Low viscosity. A real nice drinker.

 

 

12 oz. bottle poured into a tulip.

The clear medium dark copper, think bare copper wire with patina, body and creamy white head hint at the light nature of this example. The light malty aroma has an oak tannin character and some small esters coming through but lacks the rich and dextrinous malt the style is known for. Taste is well telegraphed by the nose, light, almost watery with light alcohol and some woodinesss, definately malt forward but as with the nose it has the same lack of big sweet malty character. The body medium has lowish carbonation and finishes with a slight astringency.

Overall, I would describe this a Scotch Ale/ Wee Heavy Light.

Not the "big" scotch ale the brewers claim. Not a classic example of the style.

A beautiful clear dark amber but with little to no head. Malty aroma but not scotch ale heavy malt A bit hoppy for the style with low caramel taste. A smooth medium bodied beer with a semi-dry finish.

Kinda malty, kinda fruity, a little bit of a kick from the alcohol content. This is my first Scotch Ale but I’m a big fan of Belgian Ales and I was not disappointed. I’d highly recommend.

OK Wee Heavy. Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Stone RIS tulip glass. Murky light brown color with a small bubbly off white head. Head retention is average, a little lacing on the glass. Aroma and flavor are mild. Some toasted malt, a little sweetness and toffee, but nothing really stands out. Mouthfeel is smooth and a little sweet, no bitterness or alcohol presence. Not bad, the elements of a Scotch Ale are here but the beer is nothing special.

12 oz bottle (unable to find a bottle date) poured into a pint glass, a dark amber with orange and brown mixed in, a slight sliver of head. Mild scotch ale aromas of malts, dark fruit and bready yeast. The taste is in line, but muted. The feel is good, a medium low amount of carbonation, a touch creamy. I would recommend this to Scotch Ale fans, not as bold as others, but seems to be well made.

Poured from bottle into pint glass. Poured a deep, clear amber with thin head. Notes of sweet malts and toffee with a hint of fruit, perhaps cherry. Taste followed nose though bitterness on the front with sweet boozy finish. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Overall a good breweries though seemed to have a lot going on. Though I've purchased a six pack on multiple occasions so I guess I would have to recommend.
