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.

Beautiful dark brown body with a thin tan head. Light, sweet aroma with malt, caramel, and nuts. The mouthfeel is a bit thin with moderate carbonation. Flavor is almost all malty sweet goodness. Caramel and brown sugar give way to just a touch of floral hops. Just a bit of an aftertaste. A pretty good brown ale.

Surprisingly nutty, with a slightly woody aroma. Certainly a good beer, but not my favorite.

12 oz bottle brought back from Montana by a church friend (way to go Catholics). Poured a clear brown color with red highlights and a two finger creamy tan head. The aroma was sweet malt and caramel. The flavor was toasty with caramel and chocolate present. The palate was above average with a medium/full body, mild carbonation and a silky smooth mouthfeel.

pours dark dark brown, mouthfeel is watery, taste is pretty good though, slight bitter hops, not too much though. little raisiny, quick finish, not getting a whole lot of flavor, but it does have a nice nut finish. I had higher hopes, but overall its drinkable, just not one i would seek out by any means.

Pours a dark brown color with lots of garnet highlights and a light beige, average, frothy head which is mostly diminishing and leaves some nice lace. Nose is lots of raisin??, toasted caramel, light roasted almonds, and toasted buttery bread; interesting but very nice. Flavor is good as well; some burnt caramel, roasted almonds, faint dried fruits (mostly raisins), and milk chocolate. Palate is medium, somewhat silky, and soft to lively. Finishes short with a moderately low bitterness, hints at coffee, some almonds and buttery toast. By far the best brown ale I’ve had to date with rich malt notes a barely balancing hop presence and lots of malt complexity. Highly underrated and recommended.

Thw beer poured a dark brown with a thin and long lasting dark tan head. The smell is slighty cirtus and carmel malt. The taste is sweeter then the smell but not over powering. Good mouthfeel and carbonation.
