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.

It poured a big tan head in my growler which dissolves slowly and smells sweet, mellow, a little molasses. Dark dark brown color allows light, but not a lot. Nice coffee and VERY light hop flavor. Wonderful mouth feel, not thick, or too thin. Goes down easy but doesn’t peter out and leave you disappointed either. Just good, malty chocolate without being sweet or overpowering like so many big beers. Sometimes I wish it had more punch but that would diminish the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th that always seem to follow so happily.

Had on tap a while back. Really solid brown ale, big sweet aroma notes with sugar and caramel. Dark color but slightly thin palate.

Had this on tap at the Clark St. Ale House in Chicago. A dark reddish brown beer with little head. The smell is one of pure ecstasy. Sweet smell of caramel with a hint of chocolate. Tastle is a little less than full, but is one that you want to savor. Leaves a semi-bitter after taste. A little lacing as you drink it. I am always sad to see the bottom of my glass when drinking this one. By far my favorite beer.

Moose Drool is a wonderful brown ale, it is absolutely no wonder it is the best selling beer in Montana. The look is very dark and solid looking, yet the beer is lighter in flavor than the looks would tell you. It has a sweetness too it, yet not ’sweet’ a slight chocolatey taste.

12oz bottle 9/10/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a medium brown body with a nice tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, and toffee. Taste is very light and slightly watered down with some malt and chocolate coming through. This light to medium bodied brew is very easy drinking but a bit light.

12 oz bottle. Excellent deep brown hue. Nice toasty biscuit flavor. Watery aftertaste. Decent brown ale.

A: Poured with a small, light-brown head, and a clear, dark-brown body. What little head there was dissipated to a thin lace. S: Smells of average malt, with some light roasting. T: Flavor starts of moderately sweet; again, you can taste the roasted coffee flavors. Finishes sweet, with a short duration. Quite nice. M: Light to medium-bodied with a creamy texture, and average carbonation. D: A very nice English brown ale. One of the better, if not the best, Big Sky beers I’ve tried. Easy to put back a few of these in an evening, as the roasted flavor is pleasant but not sickening.
