Good brew!

Sampled a few today after conditioning in the frig for two weeks. Mighty tasty...smooth with an initial mild sweet crystal/malty flavor and mild lingering bitterness. Overall, I'd say this batch turned out well. Prost!
Oh Ya.. The Moose is Back!

The Moose is back in the frig! Sampled another one today (ok...two) and if I did'nt have to work tommorow, I'd sample several more. This has become my house brown ale. I would recommend that you give it a try! PS - I still can't get my wife to give it a fair try... she's a miller lite fan, but I persist. Prost!
The Moose has mellowed.

Sampled a few today and this batch is primo! Nice crystal clear dark brown with ruby red highlights. Good dense head of foam. Fairly mellow bitterness, but has a nice spicey flavor and very subtle twang - almost sour, but not quite. A very tasty and easy drinking brown ale that goes down way to fast.

Just finished the last of the batch and am wishing I had more. There's always next brew season. Overall, this is a good and somewhat complex beer.
