Marvelroast
Founders Brewing Company

 

 

Goddamn good beer. Bronze color, very dirty with particulates. Smell of vanilla and chocolate and coffee. Taste is vanilla forward with a good presence of coffee and chocolate, but it still tastes like a beer. Medium bodied, strong alcohol presence, slightly dry finish, mouth filling. At a couple months old, still very flavorful and tasty. Founders knows how to make adjunct beers well, this is no exception.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter

A- pours a golden color with an orange hue, one-finger foamy white head reduces to a ring around the edge

S- creamy vanilla and milk sugars are complimented by notes of blonde coffee, cocoa nibs, light undertone of caramel

T- slightly sweet up front with notes of sweet cream and whipped vanilla. Mid-palate brings out some light roasted coffee that adds a hint of earthiness. Undertones of chocolate and caramel follow, before finishing with more earthy coffee that continues into the linger, along with more creamy vanilla

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns slightly creamy into the finish

O- this one hides the abv well, and the coffee and sweet vanilla cream notes are a fantastic compliment

 

 

 

Too sweet for me!

 

Golden cloudy amber color, strong milk chocolate smell, nice head light carbonation that disperses quickly. Smooth lager like hit, followed by a hot chocolate after taste.

 

 

 

 

 

Marvelroast has a thin, white head, (cottony) sediment-filled, deep orange, lazy bubbles, some lacing. The aroma is of mild, light coffee, barley, and vanilla. The taste is of strong golden ale (white bread crust), vanilla, faint coffee, and no bitterness. Marvelroast has a medium body and a dryer- than-expected finish.

Pours a clear golden amber color. A thumb length foam head is followed by a ring of lacing.

The presence of the adjuncts dominates the nose. Sweet and roasty aromas of cocoa, coffee and vanilla are supported by notes of biscuity malt.

Chewy and sweet notes of caramel and biscuity malts provide the base. Meanwhile, mouth coating flavors of cocoa, chocolate, vanilla, sugar and coffee dominate the palate.There is a mild roasty bitterness that adds balance, while the finish has a dry alcohol spice to it.

Full bodied and ultra smooth. The carbonation is gentle.

What an Interesting beer! Hard to perceive it as a Blond Ale given all the coffee and cocoa flavors. Nevertheless, this was pretty yummy.

A delicious flavorful beer. All notes are noticeable.
