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.

Clear amber brown with a decent off white ivory head. Smell is slightly roasted malt. Flavor is nice and roasted malt with a malty coffee aftertaste. Above average smooth palate. Overall, a great brown!

Good brown ale by the always impressive New Glarus. Good malty aroma with a nice carbonated mouthfeel, but a bit of a stale finish. Still very drinkable.

Maple, nutty, and caramelly aromas. Pours cloudy dark amber. The flavor is very caramelly with nutty notes, with hints of maple and slight toasty flavor. There is some nice spicy hop flavors in there too, with a smooth finish.

Bottle in trade from Buckybeer. Thanks!
Pours a clear amber color with a short lived beige head. Smell is nutty and lightly coffee like along with a touch of cream. Really nice and smooth and inviting. Taste is very smooth as well with a balanced nuttiness as the nose indicates. Light carbonation and a full mouthfeel. Very clean, nutty flavor that is superbly balanced and lightly bittered with a touch of sweetness without being overly so. Fantastic brown ale.

12oz bottle. Pours medium amber, with a huge off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, with nutty overtones. Flavor begins with sweet roasted caramel malt, along with some chocolate. Finish with some hazelnut bitterness. Delicious and refreshing; if this were available in my area, it would be my go-to session ale.

Pours amber grown. Aroma is malty and maybe some nut. Hardly any hop profile and no etoh. Decent brown ale.

This was a very nice nut brown ale that i got in the unplugged 12 pack. Very subtle nuts and malts in the aroma, more heavily stated in the body though. Good session nut brown. Doesnt have the weird aftertaste either.
