Recipe for Northern Brewer Caribou Slobber Brown Ale – Moose Drool Clone
Caribou Slobber is one of Northern Brewer’s most popular recipes. It’s a clone of Big Sky Brewing Company’s Moose Drool.
About Moose Drool from Big Sky:
This is the best American Brown Ale in the World! Our American Brown Ale is brewed with four different malts and hop additions consisting of East kent Goldings, Willamette and Liberty. Light on the palate. Rich mahogany color. Subtle coffee and cocoa notes balanced with a pleasant bitterness.
About Caribou Slobber from Northern Brewer:
It’s brown, it’s named after a large North American ungulate, and its name suggests oral incontinence. Ah, we market products with our minds, but we drink beer with our mouths! Which is why this American brown ale is sure to be your new favorite session beer.
Hard to believe so many enticing flavors can come from one beer recipe kit. But brew up a batch of Caribou Slobber and you’ll find dense, drool-worthy layers of malt, caramel, baking chocolate, and a hint of light-roast coffee give way to reveal a hop character that will surprise you if you’re used to drinking English brown ale.
The finish is complex but balanced, and the gravity is not so high as to keep you from having another.
