COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Moose Drool is our Brown Ale. Far and away the best selling beer brewed in Montana, Moose Drool is chocolate brown in color with a creamy texture. Our brown ale is a malty beer with just enough hop presence to keep it from being too sweet. The aroma also mostly comes from the malt with a hint of spiciness being added by the hops. Moose Drool is brewed with pale, caramel, chocolate, and whole black malts; and Kent Goldings, Liberty, and Willamette hops. It has an original gravity of 13 degrees Plato, and is 4.2% alcohol by weight, 5.3% by volume.
Note: ABV went down to 5.1%.

On tap, shared with quiznoaz. Get a brown ale, but before you take a drink, chew a hazelnut up real good. Don’t swallow. Then take a sip of brown ale. See? Pretty good huh? On a side note, I don’t think that moose drool brown ale... but then again, I don’t live in Montana, do I?

Roasty flavor, tastes of burnt caramel. This is a pretty average beer. I wouldn’t seek it out.

12 ounce bottle. A nice mahogany with a tan head. Aromas of toffee, coffee, wood, caramel, and floral hops. The flavor is toffee, toasted malts, caramel, earthy, and floral/fruity hops. A nicely done brown ale.

Dark cola brown to amber and very clear. Definitely smells like a brown ale with roastiness and somewhat of an astringent quality which I still can’t quite name. Very thin and moderately carbonated on the palate, bright sweet zip of malt with a fair amount of roastiness a bit of nuttiness and a hint of cocoa powder. Overall quite good, and the ABV being fairly low for an american micro bumps it up an extra point. Easily easily quaffable.
