Feb 10, 2009 Poured from the bomber to a dark brown with ruby tints. Aroma was a coffee-toffee mixture, with a hint of roasted nutty malts. Mouthfeel was full and slightly chewy and the taste mirrored the nose. The only surprise was that the 8.3% alcohol never made itself known in either the nose or taste. Nonetheless, the finish was smooth and long.

Feb 9, 2009 22oz bottle pours medium brown with a slight tan head. Aroma of coffee and toffee. Medium body with a good sweet body (think mil stout0 and a good bit of coffee, but not overbearing. A bit of dryness and bitterness at the end. Not bad.

Feb 8, 2009 22 oz bomber. Poured a dark amber color, translucent. Some tan head, decent lacing. Aroma was malty with coffee notes, very pleasing. Flavor was coffee up front, with a smooth malted barley flavor. Palate was very smooth. Overall a great stout.

Feb 8, 2009 A- Pours a dark brown and black hue, brown head starts small and gets smaller, lacing is thin and wispy
S- Nose is, of course, coffee cappuccino, chocolate malts, roastiness, subtler hops, and alcohol
T- Initial taste is sweet coffee malts with a nice balance of dark chocolate, surprising hit of bitter hops comes midway, finishes with alcohol warming
M- Full-bodied beer, thick and chewy texture, moderate carbonation
D- Another bang-up Limited Release from Lagunitas, this is one big bold stout with a jolt of West Coast hops, the alcohol is far from mild and can detract from the overall drinkability but this is a wonderful overall entrant in this category

Feb 6, 2009 Bottle. Dark black with a nice puffy brown head. nose dominated by nuts/coffee/and chocolate/ High ABV got me as toasted as the flavor of the malts. Great beer.

Feb 1, 2009 Bottle dark brown body with minimal head. I got a nutty coffee bean taste but not overwhelming cappuccino taste one might expect. A good ale with a above ABV.

Jan 31, 2009 Pours dark brown with small head. Some coffee and chocolate malt in both taste and aroma - not very complex, reasonably balanced. Thin mouthfeel, which is disappointing. Overall not very exciting or interesting.

Jan 30, 2009 Dark brown with ruby highlights and a decent sized tan head. Aroma is of coffee, roasted malts and chocolate. Taste is coffee and nuts with a light acidity.
