“Skatole, like animal faeces”

Beer flavour standard used to train professional beer tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of skatole character.

Skatole is formed by bacteria growing in water, or contributed, pre-formed, via ground water pollution. The compound imparts an unpleasant, somewhat nauseating, faecal note to water. It can also be indicative of faecal contamination of the water supply.
