I had this right after a Hop Hearty Ale and I wouldn’t recommend it. The maltiness of this beer could not be fully enjoyed because of this oversight. All in all a good brew, but I’ll need to try it again later. dkoonce (884), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 22, 2008 Bottle. A malty, sweet brown ale, with a strong roasted malt aroma. Heavier than other brown ales. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 22, 2008 Fat Squirrel was one of the best beers I have tried lately. Good head and carbonation. Just sweet enough not to be obnoxius. Wish I could get New Glarus all the time down in TN.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 20, 2008 Poured mahogany from the bottle with a thin white head. Odor and flavor of chocolate. AOF (282), Naperville, Illinois, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 20, 2008 Gotta say I absolutely loved this one. Just one of those right beers at the right moment.
Pours a medium brown with a decent off white head. Sugary chocolate malt nose with a subtle roasted pecan nuttiness. Light to medium in body and very smooth on the palate. Sweet, but not overly so. Slightly hoppy finish makes this one nearly perfect. Baumgartner (108), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA

Thick, rich 3 fingered head off-white in color atop a light colored brew (being a brown ale). Tastes of sweet caramel taste with a short shoft hops bitter. Maintained a thin head for the entire drink and fine lacing down the glass.

Bottle poured to glass. Nice copper brew with off white head. Smells of hazelnut and malted grains. Soft carbonation on the tounge. Full malty mouthfeel. Sweet on the palate but not cloying. Soft hops bitters to evenly balance the malt.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Goose Island Nut Brown is my standard, so the bar is high for this one...Pours lighter than expected, like a Sam Adams Lager. Head is minimal, some bitterness in the aroma. First sip...Nice! Very full-bodied- deceptively so given the lighter color. Hint of chocolate, hops, some sweetness. Very unique- hard to put my finger on it, but the combination works great.
