Moose Drool® Clone - Brown Moose (Extract)

This was my first attempt at homebrewing. I followed all instructions exactly as written. When I boiled this kit it made my whole house smell amazing! The fermentation took maybe 3 days to really start, I guess that's more a yeast issue than a kit issue? I tasted the sample I pulled for my hydrometer reading...pretty good. It got better after bottle conditioning. Smooth coffee and chocolate malt flavor, almost sweet. I was actually pleasantly surprised since this was my first batch. It ended up at 4.3% ABV. I was a little upset it wasn't higher but it fell within the range the kit specifies so that's cool. The only criticism I can really level against this kit (and THE reason I give it four stars) is the carbonation was pretty weak after three weeks of bottle conditioning. I would pour a glass and at most get a little fizz out of the beer. Don't get me wrong, I still drank it! But the lack of carbonation left me disappointed. Again, I followed all instructions to the letter! Since this was my first attempt at brewing I'm just glad I didn't have to dump the whole batch. Bottom line, if you like brown ales, can deal with the carbonation issue described (or better yet have a keg) and this is your first attempt I would say go for it.

Made this recently, I am finding that the sugar provided in the kits does not carb well for a full 5gal batch so I have been adding 1/2 oz more. Nice flavor, not outstanding but still better than a bud light

I just tapped this beer and am very happy with the results. I got great compliments from family at a recent gathering. I don't think this keg will last very long.

A great mixture of gains and hops makes a very interesting combination.

I’ve had this in all grain and malt extract and both produce s great beer. Though not quite as chocolaty as the real thing, still an excellent brown ale.

A Moose Droll clone, excellent

I enjoy the malty slightly chocolate taste of this brew. Turned out good for me. It tastes best slightly colder than room temperature. Refrigerate and pour and let sit for five or six minutes.

I love the original of this, and the kit had just the right flavor to match. Really pleased.

Good recipe. I like it and my friends like it. I label it with the name "Moose Juice".

Have not bottled yet bet great instructions and was nice brew

I've enjoyed Big Sky Moose Drool, so I thought I would try this one. Although it's been a while, I think this is right on. It is superb. Just a nice, nice brew. You'll be popular amongst all your friends, for sure.
