Imperial Golden Ale with Coffee, Cocoa Nibs, Vanilla and Milk Sugar
Take in the wonder that is the marvelous – ahem – “marvelroast” new addition to our coffee beer lineup. We started with an imperial golden ale and brewed it with coffee, vanilla and cocoa nibs. But it doesn’t end there, folks. Milk sugar added during the brewing process lends a smooth and sweet finish, making this a delicious treat reminiscent of your favorite iced coffee drink.

Beery xmas. Imp golden ale with coffee, cocoa nibs, vanilla and lactose. Precies wat je ervan verwacht: pastry golden ale. Een soort latte macchiato.

Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a clear gold with a full finger of fluffy white foam that lingers. Lots of milk chocolate and vanilla iced brownie on the nose with coffee as it warms. More of the same on the palate with a coffee and creamer character. A little booze comes out as it warms up. Coffee and cacao lingers on the finish with some medium bitterness.
