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.

<i>Bottle. Town & Country Foods, Bozeman</i> The best Montana brown ale I have tasted. That being said, I have only seen a handful. Pours dark brown, with a small head. Smooth and malty with some chocolate tones. Ends fairly dry.

Deep brown and pretty plain looking, smelling, and tasting. Notes of chocolate throughout, with some spicing and very ordinary carbonation and palate.

Bottle. Dark brown with thin tan head. Aroma is malty with caramel, nutty and brown sugar. Flavor is malty with caramel, brown sugar, hops and some nuts. Mouthfeel is a little thin.Finishes with bitter chocolate. Not a favorite.

clear golden brown, with a light amount of lacing. very light aroma. moderate carbonation The flavor is of mostly roasted malts with very little hoppiness in the finish. There are notes of coffee and some creamyness. Very nice brown ale.

Dark amber to mahogany in color. Clear, thin bodied, I might even say a tad watery. Smells of crystal malt and, to a lesser extent, dark malts. Tastes nutty with just a hint of spicy hops and has an almost sour finish. Becomes too sweet towards the end. Drinkable, cheap, but I will pass next time around.

Brown pour with a nice red center to it. Nutty caramel nose with a hint of chocolate. Flavor is a little more chocolate upfront with the caramel and nutty flavors as well and a mild hop presence. A little too watery, but outside of that a solid brown ale.
