Frangelic Mountain Brown (2012)

Brown Ale - Imperial / Double

Hazelnut coffee infused barrel aged beer. The quintessential taproom "one-off" beer. Founders’ brewers created the Mountain Brown series for their taproom in Grand Rapids in 2007. It’s the 16th iteration in the series of popular brown ales and it likely won’t be the last. The singular characteristic of this beer comes from the use of hazelnut coffee in the brewing process. The beer has distinct aromatics with sweet an nutty flavors beautifully balanced.

Light coffee and hazelnut. Mostly dusty nuts. Well fuck. Shouldn’t have expected too much from this one.

I love this beer. This bottle is of an unknown year and the age may be affecting the overall enjoyment. But it’s still good.

BA Backlog. Amazing balance of rich malts with the hazelnut coffee; and very smooth to sip on for 9%. Light and soft on bitterness, but not cloying. Minimal warming abv.

Not bad and not good. Nose is amazing but the hazelnut is all but gone. Experimental tasting at this point.
