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.
I have been making this in extract for a few years and now tried all grain BIB method. sourcing everything from Northern Brewer made it easy.

Very smooth
This is some great beer. This was my 1st all grain brew and it went great. After I put it in the keg I force carbonated it for 2 days and it turned out great. So good the 5 gallon batch only lasted 6 days.

Great All -Grain Ale
I ran the grain through my mill 1 time and brewed as directed. My OG was right on. It was in primary for 3wks. Mainly because I was waiting for the thick Krausen layer to fall. It was very active for 2wks. I then cold crashed at 32degrees F. for 4 days. Then placed in keg and pressurized at 20 for 2 days. Brought pressure down to 10 psi and then poured the perfect malty and balanced ale.

Easy Brewday and Good Beer
Delivery was exactly as promised. NB does a really nice job of packaging and labeling, too. I added a pound of rice hulls to the mash and everything was smooth throughout the process. We’re about two six-packs into it, we like it a lot, and I’m certain this will become a “regular” for us.

I opened my first bottle the other day and was very satisfied. I will do this recipe again in the future.
