Twizzlers should be tested for both, but doing the diagnostic work would mean having to sedate him-something his heart may not be able to withstand until he’s in better shape. Like obese humans, obese squirrels are prone to heart and liver disease. That’s how Twizzlers became what he is today: a squirrel in dire need of a diet and lots of exercise. Squirrel ate junk foodĪpparently, the couple fed Twizzlers junk food (hence his name?) and kept him in a cage without enough room for him to burn off the fat. Wildlife officials had nowhere to place the squirrel, so they asked Wild Friends, the wildlife rehabilitation center at Best Friends, to care for him. The Utah Division of Wildlife confiscated Twizzlers from a couple who had illegally kept the squirrel in their home. This boy is obese, so obese that the one-foot climb from the bottom to the top of his enclosure may as well be the ascent of Mt. To say Twizzlers the squirrel is overweight is putting it mildly. Sweeter English leanings cohabitate alongside an effortless and direct malt presentation, a steady punch of refined nuttiness brought to a peak in detail while simultaneously drinking with an most breezy lack of pretension simply put, this beer exemplifies the simple brilliance found in the best of the style.When he sits back on his haunches and stretches out his hind legs, a big puddle of fur spills out in front of him, and you can’t help but think of Jabba the Hutt. Mouthfeel brings a body straddling the line between light and medium, with a soft, mild-moderate carbonation dispersing a flaky crispness over the mid-palate a delicately malty grit transitions into a distant bitterness on the back end before finally fading into a clean, quenching finish leaning toward the drier side. Taste opens with toasted milk chocolate detailed with a touch of smoked hazelnut as light prune, dried toffee, and a tinge of nutty malts ground the profile over the mid-palate wispy pipe tobacco and mild coffee roast bring a grittier, earthier element into the back end and through the finish. Pours a clear, deep mahogany with burnt maroon accents and topped with a finger and a half of fluffy, dense, pale beige foam decent head retention leaves a paper-thin curtain of cap, a thin, frothy collar, and a haphazard spatter of webby/spotty lacing strewn around the walls of the glass.Īroma offers a blossoming flow of sweet milk chocolate intertwined with hazelnut, nutty malts and brighter notes of plum and prune ternsting prominence from the start if the bouquet, over time welcoming more subtle nuances of coffee grounds and slight roast with a silky caramel tinged with a soft minerality closing. Gives the caramel and nuttiness a smooth mouthfeel and finish. Low carbonation, but in this style is about the only time that I think low carbonation works well. It nails the caramel, nuts, and chocolate notes. Overall: A pretty delicious English Brown ale and I would say standard and well-done for the style. More caramel, chocolate, and rich brown malt.
