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%.

12oz bottle into pint glass, Stacey’s Bar in Gallatin Gateway, MT. Pours very dark amber color, tan head. Smells nutty, with an earthy piney aroma. Tastes very malty, also caramel taste. Finishes well. Decent beer, great for montana winters.

Can. Pours a very dark brown color with a fairly thick tan head on it. So glad I found this again after being apart from it for so long. Nose if very malt forward with a lot of nuttiness coming off the aroma. Taste has a little toasting to it, but the nutty tones dominate the flavor, too. I’ve missed this, but not as fantastic as I remember.

Doesn't smell like much. Pretty standard for a brown ale: bland, boring, drinkable. A bit nutty on the palate amidst the creamy malt; mildly hoppy at the end. I don't understand the love for this beer.

Easy drinking brown ale with just the right amount of flavor. Great for when the night got cooler when out camping. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Spab (1688) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 31, 2013
On tap at the Public House (Las Vegas). Pours a clear orangey brown with average-sized eggshell head with decent retention. Aroma is toasty caramel, sweetish chocolate and nuts. Flavour is fairly chocolatey with nuts and toasty caramel. Modest bitterness in finish. Solid.

Ericular (256) - Minnesota, USA - MAY 29, 2013
Pours brown with good head but not much lacing. Aroma is sweet, nutty malts with a touch of coffee and caramel. Taste is sweet as well - roasted malts and nuts. Mouthfeel is thin and slick with healthy carbonation and a crisp finish.

chinchill (661) - South Carolina, USA - MAY 29, 2013
12 oz bottle consumed at the Grand Canyon in a silipint. pours clear dark brown with reddish highlights and a moderate and durable dark tan head. Nice aroma of dark malts, dark fruits and some yeast. The flavor starts faint but builds to a satisfying malty mix of dark bread, toast, caramel, raisins and dates. M: creamy smooth with excellent, medium carbonation. Medium-full body. O: Excellent brown ale!

BlackHaddock (2440) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - MAY 28, 2013
3rd Feb 2013, Super Bowl day: pint into a plastic cup in ’Jacks bar in the Cannery’ (San Fransisco). Dark ruby body (the bar was dark too), thin tanned head. Mild chocolate notes in the malty nose. The taste was also chocolate and malty with a semi-sweet undertone throughout the tasting. Body was fine for the flavours and alcohol level, I enjoyed it, even in a plastic cup!
