Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

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

On tap at College Inn from way back. Dark brown color with a tan head. Big notes of mocha coffee and bitterness. Great balance.

22 oz bottle. Was interested in this beer, because I do like coffee stouts quite a bit, and I have had Lag’s Gnarly Wine, which was good, so why not? Pours a surprisingly light color, a dark brown that catches the light around all the corner (reddish color), with no head. Smells of coffee, some cream, a little milk chocolate, and a hint of malt. Tastes of lots of bitter coffee (think of coffee, if you could burn it, that’s what it is like). Also a bit of creaminess, which is I suppose the cappuccino part of it? Goes down fairly smooth, but has too light of a mouthfeel for a stout, especially a coffee stout. Not bad though, especially for the price.

pours a deep brown with a tan head. notes of mocha, cold pressed coffee, chocolate malts. very smooth and drinkable. good beer.

I am a sucker for coffee stouts but this is a good representative of the style. Nice thick head but the mouthfeel is too thin for a stout.

Deep black pour with creamy tan head and lace. A medium coffee aroma. Hard coffee flavor dominates followed by what I think is a medium malt bitter finish. Medium bodied with good carbonation.

Flaske: Dejlig duft af kaffe på en mørkebrun næsten sort øl. Meget lille skumhoved og næsten ingen karbonering. Kraftig smag af kaffe og karamel. Virkelig en fornøjelse. Alkoholen er næsten ikke mærkbar og med bare en tand mere karbonering ville denne øl have været helt oppe og ringe. Virkelig lækker.

Nice coffee flavor, not enough stout flavor. I enjoyed it, but the coffee flavor should be more subtle. The price is always better with Lagunitas though

This was excellent. Couldn’t tell it was beer - would have easily mistaken it for a nice iced coffee!!
You get a bit of a bite, some caramel malt, but mostly this is all coffee.
