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.
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.

Really Great Brown Ale
It doesn’t get any better than this brown ale. Exceptionally good. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve brewed several browns to include a honey brown. This is the perfect grain build for a rich and delicious brown!

Caribou Slobber Very good beer
Very good beer! I have not tasted the original which is Moose Drool, but if you like a very dark beer with a slight Smokey flavor, you'll like this beer. More on the dark ale or porter side in color than a brown ale. I didn't like the British Ale yeast they suggested, Last time I brewed this I used Nottingham yeast and hit my Original gravity on target. My wife loves porters and this is close to that. I did a full grain brew on this beer.

Brew day went well, easy instructions all ingredients were present. Only 4 stars because I have not had a pint yet!
