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.

Bottle, this is one of New Glarus’ flagship beers and I understand why. Pours a nice brown. Aroma is nutty and malty very good. Easy to drink, nutty and refreshing. Delicious Would buy again

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.
