Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

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

Dark brown with thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Taste is of more of the same with a sweet tartness to the finish. Decent brew.

Dark brown with tan head with some lacing and decent retention. Aroma is classic coffee and chocolate. Palate is more roasted and burnt along with chocolate milkshake taste and consistency with the coffee edge. Good.

Small disappearing head. Aroma: alcohol, coffee, bourbon barrel, not much chocolate. Flavor: chocolate, coffee, alcohol bourbon stuff. It’s a little burnt astrigent combined with a disagreeable carbonation brings down an otherwise full bodied smooth stout.

Pours black with a tan head that mostly persists. The aroma is espresso coffee with roasted chocolate malts. The flavor follows through strongly with that coffee. Definitely like drinking a chilled cup of coffee, but balanced very nicely with the malts. Not much hop presence as the IBU’s would imply. This is a coffee beer balanced rather well. It finishes nice and light, which is kind of surprising but in a good way. Really enjoyable beer.

Pours a thick black with a nice creamy beige head. The aroma is pretty sweet, with some nice chocolate, coffee and roasted caramel malt notes. The flavor is more bitter than the aroma, but is quite nice. The roasted malt character seems to dominate, while the chocolate and coffee take supporting roles. There is also a decent hop presence that helps to bitter the flavor - mostly piney I would say. Alright, as the beer warms the coffee becomes more apparent, especially in long,tasty finish. The mouthfeel is nice and full, coupling nicely with the flavor, but is not quite as creamy as the best stouts I’ve tasted. Good beer overall.

This stout pours black with a thick, creamy beige head. The head does not last long, but some of it lingers throughout the drink. The aroma is of chocolate and roasted malt. It smells sweet and seems to have that high-alcohol/barleywine aroma. The flavor is good. It tastes like mocha cappucino with hints of roasted malt that is balanced with some hops. It is almost too sweet to me. The body is medium-heavy with a medium amount of carbonation. This tastes like a good stout to me and I’ll drink it again.

Deep reddish brown appearance with a large, mocha colored head and decent lacing. Roasted coffee aroma with caramel malts topping it off. Woody, smokey taste, with dark fruits and a dash of chocolate adding a touch of sweetness. Subtle, but noticable, hop presence. Lush, full bodied, modestly carbonated mouthfeel. Sweet, lingering finish.

Opaque black pour. Nice light tan head. Coffee aroma - like a very dark espresso roast. Sweet coffee and cream flavor...almost like coffee ice cream. Very good. Much sweeter than other coffee stouts I’ve had.
