Lakefront Fuel Cafe

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Sweet Stout
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

12oz bottle. Pours opaque with a small beige head. Brew had a faint coffee aroma with some burnt toffee. More coffee in the flavor, a light hop bite was present as well. Not the best stout.

Bottle: Deep brown pour with a thin tan head. The aroma has some barley roast, mild cocoa and stale/old coffee grinds. A bit thin in body, but slick and mildly carbonated. Flavor has some milk chocolate, cream and old coffee grinds- tastes like a cigarette was dropped into an old coffee. Not well integrated, but not the worst.

Bottle purchased at D’s Six Pax. Pours black brown, off white head. Aroma is anise, coffee, chocolate, malt. Flavor is hoppy, smoky, malty, slightly sour. This beer smells and tastes slightly vinegary, which is a bit strange for a sweet stout. Perhaps my bottle was bad?

Black colored potion, small tan head with no bubble action in the bottle. Caramel sweet aroma with raisin smell and a shot of the coffee thats advertised on the label. A bit of hops cleans up the sweet aroma. A complex palate, sweet malt and berry at first a steady strong flavor, and next is the bold coffee tast. An amount of hop is present to balance the sweetness but it stays below all the sweet malt. Palate is hearty but not thick. Overall an excellent stout and the best Lakefront beer in the variety pack that I purchased. I would take it home again.

Brown with a thin beige head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts. Taste roasted malts, coffee with some mild sweetness on the back end that finishes a little nutty. Thin and watery with a weak coffee flavor. After having snake chaser, I was excited for this, kind of a letdown. Not enough coffee in there.

Pours black with a dark-brown foam. Offers a light smell of coffee and roasted malts. I found it to be lacking this full coffee smell and flavour. Remidned me too much of the watered down coffee you get at yr local gas station. The beer remains very drinkable and enjoyable, but I was disappointed by the lack of punch it offered for a coffee stout. Not a bad attempt, but nothing that could compare to other offerings. Terrapin, Dieu du Ciel, Bell’s and Founders come to mind.

Poured a deep, thick black colour with plenty of carbonation. Head was huge and brownish. Aromas were strong of coffee (der), toffee, almonds and roasted malts. A little bit of chocolate on the nose, but taste was rich and creamy with plenty of strong black coffee flavor.

12 oz bottle pours black with a thin beige head that quickly dissapates. Aroma of coffee and roasted malts. Coffee, roasted malt, and a little bitterness.
