New Glarus Brewing Co. - Fat Squirrel Ale
Beer Type: English Brown Ale - 5.80% ABV
Appearance: 12oz brown bottle with a fat squirrel on the label in the middle of a bunch of text. Favorite part of this label is the story on the side - "There are some seriously fat squirrels out there. They are running all over the neighborhood. I think I should brew a Fat Squirrel Nut Brown Ale." Beer poured red/brown/amber color with a good sized off-white head that left lacing.
Smell: Malt and just a touch of something nutty. Pretty subtle.
First Drink: Kind of chocolate malt flavors up front and something a bit metallic/alcoholic a bit like a winter warmer style. Mellows out to a nice toasty malt flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and maybe a bit on the dry side?
Last Drink: A little more sugar and bread flavors coming through now.
Drinkability: A mighty fine brown ale good for drinking in cool fall weather.
Notes: Can't get this regularly as there is a big lake (Michigan) in between me and WI but its not bad at all!
Verdict: 3.75 out of 5. Nice toasty brown ale and no squirrels were harmed in the making.
