Reddish amber color a surprise as Turkish coffee mocha latte just jumps from the bottle. Dark chocolate sea salt with caramel, and roasted nut evocations; all in a darker tonality. Bubble-gator lacings smooth in a viscous river. Bitter arabica and cacao nut greet the palate with honey comb and bee pollen. Brazil nut, cappuccino cigar, Java, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg sarsaparilla and cola. Lip smacking as your palate politely asks for a replay. Quality conjuring with smooth talking flavors. Rich, decadent and enticing without compromising its power. Joe cool.

Rich amber, ultra creamy head. Unctuous lacing spills snowmelt down igneous volcano necks. Nose of lemon bread and baked yellow beet, carrot, drizzled caramel, and limoncello cream. Chai pops in from nowhere. Somewhat muted entry with a boozy malted note, wildflower honey and bee pollen from the same. Splashes of cola pecan and cinnamon crust. #founders #foundersbrewingco #foundersoktoberfest #märzen #mibeer #michiganbeer #beer #bier #biere #birra #cerveza #cerveja — 4 years ago

Bakery nose of wheat and rye breads browned darkly, orange zest, yeastiness adds additional citrus of lemon and there is caramelized pineapple and ginger chunks. Doughy notes from malts. Overall nose is crust. Palate instantly refreshes, tangerine and pomelo, orange and corn, with a peach touch in a sensory turn both textural and initial taste. There is Lipton tea, with a hint of honey, and carrot bread, with a cream soda addition. #bellsbrewery #octoberfest #bellsoctoberfest #oktoberfest #marzen #fallbeer #MIbeer #michiganbeer — 4 years ago
