Commercial Description:
This is one beast of a beer you don't want to mess with. We brew our Sac-Squatch Scotch ale using smoked peat malt to produce an extremely roasty, big bodied, high alcohol ale (7%abv). So tangle with this creature if you must, but don't blame us if you feel a little furry in the morning. When putting hair on your chest just ain't enough.

12 oz. bottle, retrieved from the coolers at the Pizza Port Bottle Shop. Pours a clear dark bronze color with an initial medium vanilla head. Fades to white bubbles. Very weak aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and peat. Flavor is fairly one-dimensional, mostly exhibiting caramel malt, more peat, smoke and a metallic finish. Body is thin, and the palate is lacking character. Finishes very easy though, and its a cinch to drink. Worth a try.

Nice rich smoky peaty aroma, but hardly any head. Wow, a lot of caramel in this, a good malt and hop mixture, a bit smoky and overall quite tasty. A bit thin finish at first, but then I get some whiskey in the after after-taste. I liked this thoroughly

Pours with a nice tan head. Very tasty, malty sweet, with hints of roasted chocolate. Smooth and drinkable. I liked it...thumbs up.

Draft. A deep red beer with a rim of tan head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of roasted malt and caramel. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel and malt as well as lighter notes of whiskey, leading to a sweet finish.

Ruby red ale with thin white head. Mildlly sweet fruit aroma. Flavor is bland, a little roast and a little alcohol. It’s been years since I had this and now I remember why. No peat, not malt, just a watery brew that looks nice in the glass.
