In this beer blog, we are going to sample another beer from Founders Brewing. It is their Sumatra Mountain Brown Ale. If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this Michigan base craft brewery. If you have not, please, read them to get to know this Midwest craft brewery. Let us get into this brown ale.
It has a cloudy dark brown color with a tan constant head. The smell has a heavy coffee notes. The taste profile of this brown ale has a smooth nutty to coffee notes with a smooth slight milky coffee notes aftertaste. It is drinkable and scary because it is a 9% ABV beer.
Here is a description from their website (www.foundersbrewing.com):
This bold, imperial brown ale gets its body from a team of malts including Caramel malt for sweetness, flaked barley for dense foam, a bit of Chocolate malt for its deep color and Aromatic and Munich malts to add even more depth. German and Perle hops add a touch of bitterness to balance the malty sweetness. The addition of rich Sumatra coffee takes this perfectly balanced imperial brown ale to a decadent level.I love this beer. I will get more.

I was really impressed. I felt like Founder’s Brewery was just staying in their way. Not really doing anything new and different. While new and upcoming craft breweries in the state were starting to take from them. I am glad to see them doing new and different things but take their time putting it out. There are other breweries that are living on their name and need to step up to the plate. I am not going to say who they are. This is a solid coffee brown ale. This has to be my favorite or close to favorite coffee brown ale. Great beer with a great price point in a four pack bottle. I highly recommend this beer. Go get some! Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/ Cheers! Bill DJ Weiser Email: djweiser16@gmail.com Twitter: @djweiser Instagram: @djweiser13
