Cigar City Cafe Con Leche Stout

Hand bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing! For our game of which Lost character is this beer most like, we’ve chosen Sayid - sexy, smooth, and really dangerous. Pours a deep black with a tan ring. Rich coffee aroma, sweet and creamy, with malt, caramel, dark chocolate, and brown sugar. Huge taste, lots of coffee, malt, dark chocolate, and brown sugar. Lingering rich coffee flavors. Creamy mouthfeel. Delicious.

Thanks so much for the handbottle tpd975!, thanks Greg. Shared with dalekliz, this one goes out to Sayid on lost for its badassness. Porus black with a light brown ring. Nose is sweet, and has a ridiculously strong coffe, and for that wow what a nose. Taste is out of this world coffee, with big sweet bitterness and a wallop of coffee. This is excellent and I’m glad I saved this to share with Liz. According to Liz "this is like Sayid because its sexy, smooth and really dangerous!". Excellent. and I don’t even drink coffee.

Very dark brown colour with a thick, light brown espuma. Rich aroma is full of roast, with some sweet malt. Very rich. Roasty, with tons of sweetness. This does replicate the Cuban coffee experience. Wonderful balance and assertiveness. A top flight coffee stout.

A: Pours a very evil black hue. The head rises to sky scraper heights and is a very dark brown in color. The beer clings to the glass nicely and the head has excellent retention. Spotty lace is noted. S: Quite possibly the boldest coffee stout I have ever smelled. To say the aroma is of fresh roasted espresso beans would be an understatement. Bold espresso with roasted malt. Light chocolate notes. T: I love me some coffee beer and this one is coffee on crack. The espresso flavor is huge right from the start. Has the same jolt as when you eat chocolate covered coffee beans. To be honest this beer really reminds me of just that. Bold espresso with hints of chocolate. A hint of sweet, dry lactose sugar peeks thru in the end. M: Fuller in body than most coffee stouts with a nice dry bitter finish. D: Very, I love me some coffee stout and this is one of the best of the bunch. Can’t wait for it’s release.

12oz bottle @Tampa Wkly Gathering–pours a brown ring for a head and midnight black color. Aroma is coffee/chickory-dark malt. Taste is coffee/chickory-dark malt, ashy, some earthy hops. Not my style, but awesome for style.

had the last remnants out of a keg in additioin to the bottled version at CCB. thanks joey.... pours an almost black with reddish brown edges and medium tan head.... sharp, assertive aroma of coffee beans with semi-sweet chocolate... assertive espresso and roasted coffee flavors intertwined with a sweet stout base and dark chocolate fudge. smooth and tasty.

Brought this back from the brewery compliments of Wayne and shared with my tasting group.... Coffee anyone? At cap off the sweet and bitter espresso aroma filled the table. The color is as advertised Black and the mouth feel yummy. I think the milky part is surprisingly balanced like a good barrister would pour at your favorite coffee house. To date one of my top 50.

Had on tap at Cigar City Brewery during a construction phase. One of the most creative brews I’ve had and I’ve had my share. Really caught the "con leche" in the mid palate and without a doubt the finish. Really turned more and more into cafe con leche as it warmed up. dimension changed throughout the temperature range, was a different beer from beginning to end, dying to get my hands on more of this.
