It’s true that it doesn’t have an overwhelming coffee flavor. BUT IT’S BEER!! Coffee is present, but so are the essence of dark fruits and chocolate. The Body is a tad thin for an imperial stout, and it loses a few points because of that. But pour it down the drain??? Are you f*cking crazy??? Sure, it’s not the best stout of all time...but for $3.79 a bomber, I certainly cannot complain. Instead, I’m heading out to buy more. Thanks Lagunitas!

Pours dark red-amber, almost black. Thin tan head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, fig and almond. Very nice. And it had a BIG flavor. Very fruity and nutty. I can taste everything from cherries, figs, raisins, almonds, chocolate, and yes, some espresso in there as well. Velvety full body. I really like this beer, and I’m surprised by some of the low ratings I’m seeing here. Maybe I just got a really good batch, but to me this beer is wonderful.

Pours a deep brown amber with slight mocha colored head. Lots of coffee flavor with chocolate bits. Lacks the body of a stout. If you like coffee, you’ll like this beer. But if you’re looking for a stout with coffee flavors, you’ll probably want to skip this one.

Bottle. Pours a brown color with little head. Smells of malt and a little coffee. Tastes similar with roasted malts and not much coffee flavor.

Strangly light brownish pour with a cream head. Roasted aroma of coffee and some malt. Good roasted coffee with some mocha/chocolate. A bit medium bodied, but a pretty serious brew. Low carbonation but not creamy. Pretty straight forward coffee drink, but not really a stout. Not quite sure what to make of this, I feel like there is much unrealized potential here. Almost like they got lost in creating another strong ale forgetting this was supposed to be a stout. Ends up not being poor, but not what it should be.

For a coffee beer this tasted surprisingly little like coffee. Poured a nice deep brown with tan head. Aroma was roasted malt, maybe a little coffee. Some oxidization and penny aroma. Flavor was fairly uninspiring. This one turned into a drain pour after about 3 sips. Ah well. they can’t all be winners.

Drank poured into a pint glass from the bottle. A hefty malted, roasty coffee aroma with some accompanying notes of chocolate and caramel; some light earthy hops too. Dark brown color with an amber tint, with a very small, bubbly, off-white head that had short retention. Fairly potent coffee taste is definitely present, also a touch of chocolate. Sweet in nature, with some underlying and finishing bitterness. Wet and watery on the palate, with a very full effect and lower carbonation; mostly smooth and fluid. I am not much of a coffee-drinker, but liked this beer fairly well.
