Founders Sumatra Mountain Brown, a 12oz bottle potential

Founders Sumatra Mountain Brown, is future bottle potential by the Grand Rapids, Michigan based brewery.

While this release doesn't officially appear on the brewery's release calendar, the brewery did mention a few new seasonals, appearing in May and fall, respectively. Founders Sumatra Mountain Brown has the look and feel of a beer from the brewery's Backstage Series – Frangelic Mountain Brown Ale. While that edition was brewed with hazelnut coffee, this "mountain" brown ale is brewed with Sumatran coffee.

The is bold brown ale gets its body form a team of malts, including caramel malt for sweetness, flaked barley for dense foam, a bit of chocolate malt for color, and aromatic and munich malts for added depth. German and perle hops add a touch of bitterness to balance the sweetness. The addition of rich Sumatra coffee takes this perfectly balance brown ale to a decadent level.

Founders Sumatra Mountain Brown will be a 12 ounce bottle release. The brewery has not yet announced this offering.
