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%.

TipsyMcStager (1114) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 3, 2003

sweet & hoppy aroma, very pleasant. Pours dark brown, nice head for a brown ale. Mouthfeel is creamy. Flavour-wise, not much going on. There is noticeable hops in the finish. A nice brown ale. How can you hate a beer called "Moose Drool"?

presario (4406) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 3, 2003

Thin effervescant head. Dark brown colour. Warm, malty outdoorsish aroma. Stronger than typical brown ale hops in the finish. A slight sourness in the body. Good but not a Wild Rose.

BeaverBrown (245) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAY 29, 2003

Dark brown with a medium creamy beige head. Smell malt and caramel. Taste like roasted malt. Great beer.

themorningzoo (49) - Fairbanks, USA - MAY 23, 2003

This was a great brown ale... one of the best in my book. It was strong and tasty with just enough of a smooth sweet finish. Loved it!

prpplague (247) - Euless, Texas, USA - MAY 12, 2003

slightly tan head, large active carbonation, would pass for a glass of coke with watery dark brown color, nice coffe/nut aroma. tast is smooth with a nice crisp hop finish and a lingering roasted taste. totally drinkable.

Delicious. Creamy, smokey, nutty. Very smooth and easy to drink. I love this stuff. Much better than Newcastle.

What a color! With a good taste to boot. I'm into the brown ale's right now, and this is one of the top that I've tasted lately.

Nuffield (3348) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - MAR 8, 2003

As far as brown ales go I was rather pleased with this. Nice deep color, slight head. Rather substantial caramel and nut aroma, more flavors like roasted malts coming through as it warms. Nevertheless, a bit thin, with shades of Newcastle (though still a far cry from it).

WabashMan (971) - Noblesville, Indiana, USA - FEB 11, 2003

My friend brought a case from montana after talking about it for four years. It was good, but didn't live up to his hype.

3fourths (6948) - Straßgiech, Bavaria, GERMANY - JAN 21, 2003

Pours a nice deep brown, with a roasted/nutty aroma. Tastes like a light nut brown ale, and overall it was enjoyable, although slightly thin.
