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.

On Draught at Washington Brewers Festival. Aroma is roast malt forward, balanced by reasonable hop flora. Color is dark amber, with a light tan head; medium retention. Flavor is a fairly even hop/malt blend forward, followed by some more floral hop tones. Medium bodied, with med-high carb texture. Not bad; first time I’d actually had it on draught.

Aroma is very light. I loved the dark brown colour with a touch of red. Slight taste of hops and a mild fruity tone to it. Overall not a bad beer with dinner but nothing special.

I like the color. A brown color, obviously, with a bit of redness to it. The aroma is nice, but not great. It finishes nicely, dry and smooth.

Bottle. An average brown ale drunk Around Yellowstone on 6 of september 2002. The arome is not that good. But it has a good taste

Twelve ounce bottle poured medium bark brown with a hint of red, small white head with yarn-like lacing. The nose was of molasses and hay; the taste, of brown sugar, honey, and wheat with faint citrus. The body is silky and smooth and of medium weight with mild carbonation. The finish was both sweet and sour. I think I tend to rate browns more harshly due to my preference for hops and wheat, but I think I still prefer Rogue Hazelnut and even Samuel Smith Nut Brown to this.

Appearance: Pours a clear brown body with hints of ruby and a tan-colored head. Sparse lacing. Smell: Hardly any scent beyond a very faint sweet malt aroma. "Where did the aroma go?" So some brewer had better be asking themselves this question. Somebody better be up late at night wondering where THE HELL the aroma went to. Just sayin’. Taste: Lightly sweet, roasted malts with just a bit of nuttiness. Hints of chocolate. Oh, and I think there’s a vague fruitiness to it squirreled away in semi-hiding, too. Light citrus hops round out the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body, with a soft carbonation. The palate leans towards being unfavorably watery at times. I dunno why it had to do this, but it did. Drinkability: One of the most adorable labels I’ve seen lately, but nevertheless this beer didn’t leave much of an impression on me.

Draught > Mnagy Moose, Jackson Hole. OK but not great. sort of thin and weak and not much raostiness.Was balanced good though. Wasn’t too sweet. Head died immediately.
