Now that is INTERESTING. They essentially took a brown ale and treated it like a double IPA. They added "masses of hops and complemented the alpha acids with the smoothness of the malts. The dark chocolate characters of the malts blend beautifully with the pine aromas and stiff bitterness from the hops." This is an emerging style also known as Black IPA, India Black Ale, Cascadian Dark Ale, or Dark IPA. Caution is warranted with MOOSE FANG--high ABV--Half the batch is also barrelled in fresh Armagnac barrels with vanilla pods, dates and prunes--hmm, may try the orginal first if possible. I don't know if it will be possible to source this for the Moose brew world championship--Moose Drool vs Moose Fang. I was able to obtain Moose Drool for a Moose visit through a distributor in CA despite it being brewed in Montana and had to send it to a friend in New Hampshire (live free or die state) due to inane MA regulations. Recall the
American Brown Ale championships;

I have already performed some preliminary scouting and it does not look good finding any MF outside the UK. I have thrown an additional few "Hail Mary" passes as well. We'll see. There is some time before the master judge will be visiting New England again.
