Moose Drool Brown Ale by Big Sky Brewing Company

An update: first I came down sick for a couple weeks. After that, I decided to enjoy some of my homebrew. I mean, I could literally sing "100 bottles of beer on the wall" in my cellar. Mostly, I've been enjoying the double hefe.

Tonight I dug out a bottle of Moose Drool. This is a seriously enjoyable beer if you are a dark beer drinker.

The Brown Ale is an under appreciated style. If you like Stouts and Porters, you should really give Brown Ales a try. Mild Ales too for that matter.

Seriously, broaden your beer horizons any chance you get. Even if you try a beer and you didn't like it, give it a couple more chances. Make sure you don't like it and try to figure out why.

Moose Drool is as dark as many porters but it not completely opaque if held up to a light. It's a little roasty but tastes primarily of chocolate and caramel malts.

Hops consist of Kent Goldings, Liberty, and Willamette. The hops are just strong enough to be noticeable and balance the sweetness of the malt. From the hops, I mostly get a little spice and flowers. Kent Goldings, and Willamette are two of my favorite hops.
