Big Sky Moose Drool Brown Ale

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

dark brown in color. malty, and bit of sweetness. sharp finish. fairly one dimensional, the tilburg brown was better.

I hate hoppy beers and this one is just right for me. Warm, malty and as they say, just enough hops to keep it from being sweet. I’d like less carbonation, but then that’s true of about every beer I drink except cask aged ales.

Pours brown with 3/4 inch light tan head. Nice rich aroma, earthen hops, sweet toasted malt. Dry finish, a little on the sweet end of the spectrum. Good session brew. Would like to have it on tap. From a can: 06-14-09 Dark brown with a modest off white head. Fair amount of lacings. Aroma is nutty roasted malts. Taste is nuts, bread, cocoa, and good support from some mildly bitter hops. Slightly dry and astringent on the palate. Carbonation is a bit much for an English Brown but normal for the US tongue. This is an average ale in many ways but with no bad character and the 5.1% abv you could drink this all night. First time I have seen this in a can. Tastes fine.

A little sweet and nutty. Stronger than other Brown Ales i have had. Very drinkable.

Clear brown color, fizzy, minimal head. Light bodied. Flavor is toasty malts, mildly sweet, with a peppery finish. Pretty decent brown ale.

Pours an amber brown with very little head. A bit of tan lacing. Aroma is malts, nuts and hints of sweet caramel. Flavor is toasted malts and sweet (caramel). Body is light with light carbonatons.

On tap at New York Casino in Vegas. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a great beige head. The aroma is mostly brown sugar and malts. The taste is dominated by a thick sludge of malts and sweet caramel and candies. Some hops in the finish. Really quite nice and full. I enjoyed this one a ton.

Got this at a bar in Denver. A simple brown ale, very sweet and malty, but lacking the nut flavors of better brown ales. Nothing really stood out, but very drinkable.
