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.

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.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Alraomon. Thanks Sean! Pours an inviting brown-tinged red color with a minimal off-white head. Aroma is strong green-apple with cherry and nutty notes. Smooth taste with caramel, nuts, apple and toasted malts. Medium bodied and very well balanced.

From bottle : Aahh this is nice, the first brown ale i have got to rate in quite sometime. Pours a clear brown color, with a small dirty white head, that then dies down to just a small ring of foam around the glass. Aroma is nice, mixture of nuts, caramel, malt. Taste has a little less than the smell, but holds its own. Malts and roasted nuts, with some bitterness toward the end. Finishes with a roasted bitter flavor. A very nice brown ale.

Bottle. A very good beer that gave me new hope for New Glarus since the Spotted Cow is only slightly above average. Warm body and a relatively long lasting flavor. Not as nutty as some other nut browns but very good nonetheless.

This is a top notch brown ale. Pour is a orange, reddish brown with an off white, thick head. Aroma is pure, crisp and clean of hazelnuts, caramel, malts, and barley. Flavor is hazelnut malts and other various malty flavors. Palate is smooth, and warm and finishes dry with a slight bitterness. Very impressed.

Aroma is really nutty and malty. Great for the style. Appearance is exceptionally clear, and extremely light for the style, but nothing to complain about. Flavor is overwhelmingly malty, with overtones of chocolate malt. The nut is an afterthought and the malty sweetness takes over. Palate is perfect for the style, but the sweetness overtakes the brew and makes it a bit chewy. Overall, a decent brown, even if it is a bit light. The sweetness and thickness is rather odd being that it is so clear. Not bad for the style.
