Big Sky Moose Drool Brown Ale

Brewed by Big Sky Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Missoula, Montana USA

Bottle courtesy of Howie @ the Cock & Bull Pub-thanks! Pours a dark brown with a thin fizzy tan head that diminishes quickly. The pour reminded me more of a cola rather than a beer. Aroma is nutty with hints of spices and chocolate. Flavor is malty and sweet with hints of roasted nuts and raisins mixed in with chocolate and caramel. Is thin on the palate with a creamy dry finish. Very tasty and enjoyable.

Bottle in Seattle on Alki Beach out of a plastic cereal bowl. Nice drinkable brown ale. Nicely hopped to stop this from being another cloyingly sweet brown. wish thsi was sold out east.

Silky sweet sexy chocolate goodness. Not the most complex of brews, but tasty nonetheless. Extremely wide appeal. Better than expected. Sure.

Reminded me of New Castle with more “stick” and more malty goodness. . . Pours dark brown, smells like a mixed nut trail box with malt. . . Dried dark fruits, coffee, cocoa. . . Great Brown ale, would buy again anytime. . .

Bottle purchased at Beertopia in Omaha, NE. Pours a deep, translucent brown with garnet highlights and two fingers of fizzy head that diminishes fairly quickly. The nose is of pale malt and earthy/herbal hops with supporting notes of caramel, peat and chocolate malt. This one smells almost like an English pale ale with a diversified malt bill. Just a touch on the light side of medium-bodied, the mouthfeel features soft carbonation and a dry, toasty finish. Beginning sweet and malty with cashew-like nuttiness and faint cocoa, the flavor transitions to a mildly herbal/hoppy finish. This is a pretty tasty brown. I would probably prefer this one with a different hop profile, but it’s a nice brown nevertheless.

Bottle courtesy of douglas88. Pours brown with a tan head. Smells of raisins, spice. Tastes of earthy malt, light citrus, some fruit, touches of molasses.

roasted malt/caramel nose. very nice looking in glass(excellant clarity) they roasted the malt just right, gives a hint of dark roasted malt but not over-bearing. very long, clean finish. damn good brown ale. finally available in illinios(from what i hear exclusively at binny’s)

Dark but clear brown color with a beige head. Mild aroma of caramel and chocolate. Flavor of toasted malts a little caramel and chocolate. Rich and full bodied.
