Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

tap, smells of deep roasted coffee/malt combo with light aroma of hops, looks a beautiful deep dark black with highlights of ruby on the edges with medium airy brown head, flavor of coffee, chocolate, deeply roasted malt, and a very sweet start to finish, a la milk stout. palate mildly chalky with hop bitters, very solid stout.

Bottle. Pours a deep, slightly opaque brown with nice creamy head that forms little lumps after a while. Smells like roasted coffee beans, bittersweet chocolate, and maybe a little charcoal? Tastes the way it sounds: espresso roasted coffee, a little bit of sugar boardering on chocolate, creamy, vaguely hoppy finish. Nice beer, but could have used another level.

Pours dark mahogany with a 3 finger chunky tan head that has good retention. Aroma is coffee, lots of coffee, some nuttiness, roast-largely covered up by the coffee though, a hint of char and ginger ale. Flavor is coffee, chocolate, roast, char, molasses, burnt sugar and... watermelon. Finish is kind of weak roast, molasses, and some herbal, earthy qualities come out along with bitter hops but it is very quick to fade. Palate is medium-thick, extremely sticky, and somewhat boozy. Not bad.

Fantastic focused stout, a nice vacation from all the impys that I have been having lately. Tons of cappuccino flavor, almost like an old pot of coffee, but in a good way. Thick and syrupy even though it is a semi-translucent brown. No head, $4.99/1pt 6 oz at Milam’s Supermarket

22oz bottle served in a stem glass. I knew this was a bad idea when I bought it but I just couldn’t help myself. Clear brown with a thin khaki head. Smells of old stale coffee, ash, and molasses. Old bitter coffee dominates the flavor, some chocolate, but really just some foul stuff. So many of these coffee stouts are disappointing to me. Is it too much to ask that the coffee not taste like it was brewed 10 years ago and left to sit in a diner coffee pot since then?

Had this a while back, had to rate it.... Creamy light brown head... great coffee aroma... slight bitter chocolate aftertaste... a fun stout to try....

Creamy top, smells of coffee, dark-coffee - light bitter chocolate aftertaste. Good

Nice coffee, malty aroma with a pleasant coffee/ toffee taste. Not one to take lightly but the alcohol was not overbearing. Very pleasant finish as well. One of the nicer stouts I have had. Thanks CB!
