2022 Beer In Front Awards: Big Sky Brewing Moose Drool

So I’ll be posting each beer I rate for the 2022 Beer In Front Awards. Visit the website at beerinfront.com and the Awards page.

My next beer for judging is a style that gets little love, but is a great one to bridge between the lighter lagers and the stronger porters and stouts. It’s the brown ale. The Big Sky Moose Drool is a classic brown focused on malts.

For the appearance it is a beautiful deep mahogany red/brown with a tan head. It is also clear with no cloudiness. I really like the appearance so I gave it an 8.

The aroma is sweeter and gives off a Carmel and toffee fragrance. It is enjoyable but not over the top. I gave it a 7.

For the flavor you get a lot of the caramel and toffee flavor and even some dates or figs. I really like the flavor and it has sweetness to it but not overly sweet. I gave this an 8.

Overall I do enjoy this beer and for a brown ale it hits on a lot I look for in the style. I gave it an 8 overall.
