Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Petaluma, California USA

Bomber from State Line. Pours dark toffee brown. Thin, quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma of ovaltine and cappucino. Actually, aroma is very similar to the new Russian Monster Java. Also kinda like homemade Kahlua. Underlyingly, like arabian coffee, sweet and bean-y. Tons of choclate of different types. Light caramel, toffee, a tiny bit of a bite. Flavor is deep. Lots of cappucino, duh, but also a little licorice, pepper, chocolate, kinda bittersweet. Aftertaste is like a mocha-flavored malted milkshake with a distinct alcohol burn at the back of the throat. Beautiful. No carbonation, thick, oily, and viscous. Awesome beer, especially at the price! Hooray Lagunitas!

Right up my alley. Pours dark and beautiful brown. Tastes very sweet, with hints of toffee thats not completely overshadowed by the awesome flavor of the coffee. I little thinner than I expected..but I like....should be made year-round

22 oz. bottle. Pours a mocha colored head, with minimal retention and some lacing over a reddish brown body.... nose of cocoa, mild coffee, bit of yeast....tastes initially of malt sweetness, evolving to toffee, then roasted flavors, and a bitter finish, that is partially hops and partially old coffee. Mouth feel is pleasant, but the finishing flavors are off putting. I am coming to the opinion that coffee flavors should come from the roasting of the malts and not the bean.

A Mes rate: bottle thanks to my good mate Duff McShane. Supped up on Primrose HIll with Sim and Pauline.
Black body with a good creamy beige head. Big ass coffee aroma with loads of caramel some vanilla and slight alcoholic notes. More oatmeal than cappucino in the mouth. Milky cocoa, quite powdery and lots more oatmeal plus a faint bitterness in the finish.

Bottle, pours a dark brown beer with a thin off tan head. aroma is light and malty. Flavor is light coffee, i expected more.

Bomber. Super dark red, too-light beige head. Too clear. Vegetal, chive and rancid coffee aroma. The flavor is mostly semi-sweet, stale coffee; not awful in itself, but the aroma pretty much kills it. Now I’m wishing that I had poured this into a wider mouthed glass, as it might have been somewhat drinkable. Quite light bodied, but nice carbonation. This is a borderline drain-pour. Doesn’t really taste infected from my experience, but something is not right with this beer.

Pours a deep ruby red. Nose is of molasses and burnt coffee. Taste is astringent, redolent of alcohol and espresso. Mouthfeel is weak and the finish pedestrian.
