Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

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

Dark brown stout with low carbonation. The taste is coffee, slight hop. The aroma is better and fuller than the actual taste which is a shame. One could expect more from a stout with this high an alcohol content.

Decidedly non-black for a stout, closer to a dark mahogany. Sand colored head is modest at about a centimeter. Leaves some thin paisley lacing. Aroma is very deep. A coffee bean note is detectable behind the sweet vanilla and chocolate. A lot of stouts have muddled aroma profiles where it’s hard to discern what’s going on but each note here is distinct and clear, while still maintaining synergy. Flavor is sweet up front with lactose and chocolate, then roasty with a ton of coffee. Hops are apparent in the finish as they contribute a rindy, citric twang to the roasted bitterness. Tasty but not very robust. Carbonation is just about perfect, body is a little thinner than it could be, alcohol is nowhere to be tasted.

Black pour with almost no head. Tobacco and dirt mouth. Medium to full bodied, wheres the coffee? I really didnt pick up on much. Unpleasant, might be my last purchase from these guys.

Poured a very dark brown with a nice thick head from the bottle. Had an aroma of coffee and chocolate. The taste was of chalky coffee with an unpleasantly bitter aftertaste. I love Lagunitas beer was so hoping for more but was disappointed.

Bottle....Poured a dark, dark ruby-brown with thick tan head with good retention. Aroma of dark roast and coffe with slight floral notes. Flavor of Dark roast, chocolate, and coffee with slight bitter at the end. Full, somewhat creamy body with medium carbonation. Good stout!!!

Thank you to ilovedarkbeer for this one. Black body with a light brown head and good lacing. Cappucino and chocolate make up the aroma with the addition of some soil. Coffee taste, that is a bit bitter. Pretty light boddied for a stout like this. Smooth drinking.

bomber at Beer bistro, brownish red, decent brown or tan foam. nose was choc coffee and a little smoke mixed with some nice sweet malts. Flavor was coffee, choc again and a decent bitter finish.

Pours black into a snifter. Mocha head recedes leaving sheet lacing to skim surface. Malt and slight coffee aromas. Sweet and creamy coffee from front to back.
