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%.

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2004 Awesome brew. My roommate who is from Montana bought some of this and I was totally impressed. Really dark, good tasting ale. I would buy again if it would go on sale.

UPDATED: FEB 10, 2003 ReRate-bottle-2/7/03-I was up in minnesota last week and saw that they had this up there, so i bought a 6er. Its not bad, but not as good as when i started rating brews, so i just droped the ratings somewhat. Another great northwest amber ale!!! Great overall taste-almost creamy! Many memories drinking this at Mt Rainier with my work buddies in the summer 2001

Murphy (1759) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - FEB 6, 2002

This was pretty good, but I think people talk it up too much. This is not the greatest beer on the planet. Maybe it’s the best in Montana, I don’t know.

BarePaw (148) - Pullman, Washington, USA - JAN 26, 2002

It is a pretty dark beer. When I poured it into a glass, my roomate thought I was drinking root beer. It has a good flavor though.

sparticus99 (1) - Minnesota, USA - NOV 29, 2001 does not count

It’s dark enough to be a heavy beer to swollow, but it’s light enough to be a great beer. It’s like crossing Leinenkugal’s creamy dark and Killian’s Red.

MilkmanDan (1943) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - NOV 19, 2001

Like the malts in this one, gives it a nice finish. A bit light on the bitters. A mite thin in the texture when drinking, which is surprising considering it poured a lovely, creamy head that hung around a good long time.
