Funky Fluid

Squirrel Bait is a robust and elevated take on the traditional British Brown Ale, pushing the boundaries of the style with its significant strength. The sensory experience is dominated by a rich, multi-layered malt profile, showcasing deep toffee, toasted biscuit, and distinct nutty notes reminiscent of hazelnuts and walnuts. This intensity is balanced by a subtle earthy hop character and a gentle fruity ester profile. Despite its high alcohol content, it maintains a smooth, velvety character where caramel and light chocolate flavors linger on the palate. The result is a comforting, malt-forward beer that emphasizes depth and warmth over roasted bitterness, finishing with a satisfying, decadent sweetness.

Appearance. Dark reddish-brown (approx. 20-22 SRM) with excellent clarity. It supports a moderate, creamy, light tan head with good retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity malt-forward aroma featuring heavy caramel, toffee, and toasted nuts. Subtle hints of milk chocolate and dark bread crust are present. A light, earthy hop presence and low dark fruit esters like plum add complexity without overshadowing the sweet malt.

Taste. Initial impression of rich malt sweetness, transitioning into flavors of toasted biscuit, caramel, and a prominent nutty character. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance against the dense malt. Hop flavor is minimal and earthy. The finish is medium-sweet with a lingering toffee and nut aftertaste, devoid of harsh roasted grains.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body, providing a rich, coating texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the high gravity, without being hot or sharp.
