Bottle presentation from Lagunitas is, as usual, amusing. Pours a muted dark mahogany color, thin light head that clears quick but leaves some generous lacing as it goes. Aroma is coffee-forward, with plenty of smooth creamy coffee backed up by some dark roasted notes and some light cocoa. Flavor is very well balanced for a coffee stout, with plenty of coffee and just enough malt sweetness to provide the milk and sugar. Some very light booze notes show up in the back of the flavor. Mouthfeel is is clean and light, close to a light dry irish stout. Very clean, with little on the finish. Overall a surprisingly good coffee stout. LearninBeer (210), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2009 22 oz. bomber from my beer locker. Lousy weather out so I’m staying in. Poured into my trusty SA glass a dark mahogany with an off white/light tan head and fairly nice lacing. Aroma was roasted, dark fruit and a little tanginess, some oak and smoke, coffee and baker’s chocolate. Ditto on the flavor with some malt sweetness exposed. Good stout for the occasion. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA
