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.

12oz bottle. Clear brown color. Very nice aroma. Just like an acorn... Flavor is big malt. Characteristics of hazelnut. Some toasted grains on the back of the palate. Smooth creamy mouth feel. Best New Glarus I’ve had... hope there’s more to come.

Pours a crystalline hazelnut brown. Aroma is warm and toasted, roasted nuts, sweet malts. Flavor is more of the same, but with a balancing sweetness. Very quaffable.

Bottle: Lighter chestnut brown with a smallish off-white head. Bubbly. Aroma is toasty with nuts, toffee, malts, and a bit earthy and floral. Tastes is toasty and malty. Caramel, nuts, and toffee. Low bitters. Crisp carbonation. No real sweetness and overall a very nice brown ale. Thanks Pepsican.

Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells nutty with lots of chocolate and some earthiness. Tastes Chocolatey with some nutty undertones. More of a pale porter than a brown ale.

Nice gold/amber pour. Nice 2 finger head, dissapates into a very thin lace. Initial taste of copper is there and gone in a second. Gives way to chocolate covered cashews, slightly dry finish. good beer but not a session beverage.

Pours bright amber into my glass with lively carbonation and a nice fluffy white head. Smells of caramel, a bit nutty, and kind of like old pennies. Tastes a little fruity and nutty, with a dash of burnt sugar in the finish. It’s okay but I wouldn’t go out of my way to try it.

Monster head in the pour. Not really a fan of the brown ales but it was in the sampler. Very nutty with a semi harsh choco maltiness. "OK"
