Commercial Description:
100% Wisconsin malt of six different varieties impart the natural toasted color to the bottle conditioned unfiltered ale. Clean hazelnut notes result from these carefully chosen barley malts. Hops from Slovenia, Bavaria and the Pacific Northwest give Fat Squirrel its backbone.

nice brown pour with low carbonation and low lacing. burnt caramel taste with a dry roasty finish. roastiness increases as it warms. I would prefer more carmel and toffee than dark grain

Brown, ba-ba-brown-brown. 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.

Bottle. A malty, sweet brown ale, with a strong roasted malt aroma. Heavier than other brown ales.

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.

Poured mahogany from the bottle with a thin white head. Odor and flavor of chocolate.

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.

Bottle poured to glass. Roasted malt aroma and piney hops. 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. A5 A5 F7 P3 O14 ReRate 2-4-2009 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. A6 A3 F5 P3 O14

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.
