Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

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

On New Years Eve 2009, a danity stout with marvelous coffee undertones!!! this brew settles within, which allows the malt to flow through the pallate with ease and ejoyment. I will follow the 22 with ease!! Nice.....

Appearance: Pours a dark reddish brown with a thin fizzy head. Aroma: Dry cocoa and coffee. Taste: Coffee and bittersweet chocolate at first, then roasted malt and hop spice. Mouthfeel: Thin and fizzy. Overall: It is a very nice dry strong stout. If you are expecting an Imperial Stout like profile, you will be dissapointed, if you love a hearty coffee porter with a high ABV, this beer will knock your socks off.

Dark, dark brown/red pour with tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, some earthiness, and a bit of caramel. Flavors of coffee and light chocolate... not much else there. Medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body and carbonation, minimal alcohol warmth. 9% ABV is well hidden. A decent beer.

Very dark, blackish brown color but with a red tint as so may of these have. The aroma smells delicious and I don’t even drink coffee. Its just a sweet, milky and sugary coffee smell. The flavor is like a very strong coffee but with some carbonatin. It bears little semblance to beer. Think carbonated frapp! Puck! Ino! Some lacing. Coffee aftertaste. Comes on strong.

Draft at redlight redlight. Pours very dark, almost opaque with a tan head. The nose isn’t bad with lots of notes of coffee, some milk sugars, and roasted malts. Something in the flavor is not quite balanced. The roasted malts come forward but don’t line up right with coffee, etc. Furthermore, it definitely stand to be a little thicker/creamier. Not my favorite from Lagunitas of whom I’m usually a big fan.

Deep brown/black pour, thick off-white head. Aroma is coffee and malt. Strong coffee at the front, nice creamy finish. Another not-amazing-but-damned-solid Lagunitas offering.
