Drool
I cracked open my first Moose Drool last night. Sure, I’d had it on tap before and loved it, but this was my first experience from a bottle. The glass was chilled, the beer cold, and it flowed smoothly like a fine drool (okay, more like a cold beer, but I’m trying to work with the name of the beer here, folks!). When it hit my tongue, I nearly choked. This couldn’t possibly be the same beer I get on tap at Capone’s, could it? It had an acrid, slightly chemical taste with just an afterhint of feces. So, is it a bad batch, or should I stick to getting it in pubs? Although I bought a six-pack, I am somewhat leery of trying another in hopes that I just had a bad bottle.
I remember a batch of homebrew a friend had made about twenty years ago that tasted somewhat similar. It had been contaminated with ecoli, which gave it a rather unique taste and aroma. Here’s hoping the same hasn’t happened to the Moose.
