Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

22oz. Oh baby, I’m a big fan. Pours pitch brown with a smallish off-white head. Sweetness in the nose with a bit of raisin and espresso. Body follows similarly with some wine-like cherry tastes, bright acidity and a long finish. The highlight here for me is the mouthfeel; it is creamy, sweet but also has a slightly bitter bite. Yum.

Decided to have some fun and do a side by side tasting with Southern Tier’s Jah-Va stout. Why not. Pours black with a lighter tan head. Nice lacing. Smells bitter with coffee and hops with a little bit of roastiness. Flavor not as intense as I expected. Watery, creamy and flat. Bitter finish that doesn’t linger long. Not very impressed.

Bottle. Dark brown body, medium tan head, roasted barley nose. Coffee flavors, slight sour note, mild, especially considering the ABV. Has a slightly creamy quality.

22oz brown bottle served in a shaker pint. Poured a deep brown/black with one finger of off white head. Coffee and cocoa in the aroma. Big coffee flavor dominates. Medium bodied. There is some hop bitterness in the middle. Kind of a one dimensional beer. The base beer didn’t come through very much.

Bottle. Dark amber color, creamy brown head. Sweetish coffee aroma, choclate, milky, some vanilla and some grassy, metallic hops. Coffee flavor (surprise!!!), chocolate, mint, cocoa and some milk. Very mild and pleasant stout with alcohol well hidden.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying "hard-core" coffee....Definately not some, just took an "e" and now dancing nonstop in frantic biznuz to some hardcore jungle ala Rufige Kru....but yea, not bad....bites for a cappuccino, hence the dog???/..malts, roasted nuts and chocolate, and a bit of creme. a note of figg too.

Bottled. Pours very dark brown in colour with a medium sized light brown head. Malty with notes of coffee, cream, dark fruit and hops. Mild but quite nicely balanced.

Big bold beer , lots of coffee in the nose and flavor,Roast malt and a bit of sweetness made this very quaffable . the only problem I saw was should it be paired with oysters or eggs!
