Nut brown ale
Fat Squirrel is a delicious, unique, and beautiful beer. Named for the fat squirrels that roam the brewer’s property, it uses six different varieties of malt to give it its roasted color. It is unfiltered and bottle-conditioned, and the taste is dominated by nutty malts and roasted malt aromas. It also boasts a subtle alcohol scent.
This medium-bodied brew is a nice example of a brown ale. Its roasted malt flavor dominates the palate, creating a nutty, hazelnut-like note. The roasted flavors are well-balanced, but the bitterness helps to smooth out any lingering notes of nuttiness. Its 5.8% ABV is moderate for this style but is high for craft beer.
Whether a brown ale is brewed in England, Belgium, or elsewhere, the style can vary significantly. Most are deep amber to copper in colour and have a moderate to high level of malt and hop flavour. A good example of a brown ale is Newcastle Brown Ale or a Mann’s Brown Ale. These are both popular choices for a beer. Because of their malty nature, these beverages are great pairings with food. Because they have a malty flavour, they go well with spicy dishes and chocolate desserts.
