Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

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

Beer pours light brown/burgendy color with a big vey well retained beige colored head. Aroma is roasted coffee beans and alcohol. Flavor is actually quite reminiscent of cappacino. Flavors of coffee and scalded milk with a bit too much alcohol showing through. I would have rated this really high if the alcohol were better hidden. Very tasty, however. Thanks DAAS!

Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (coffee, roasted grain, chocolate), moderately hoppy (resin, apricot). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, creamy/velvety texture, lively carbonation. Was hoping for a little more malt richness and less PNW hop aroma, but this is still a delightful roasty stout.

Coffee stouts are one of my favorites and this one disappointed a bit. The coffee is there, if only when it hits your noggin. Alcohol well hidden. Creamy a bit. I will look for another bottle for a revisit.

Potent, sweet roasted aroma. Clear ruby brown. Earthy, roasted, fairly sweet flavor with some green nuts in there. A nice pint. Session weight, maybe a bit heavier. Boozy. Western hops strat to build in the finish. On tap at David Copperfield’s, NYC, 3rd HHR trip

Dark brown, almost black color with a medium thick and foamy beige head. Thin wisps of lacing. Coffee is in the aroma naturally, along with some sweet malt. Medium-bodied with a coffee flavor that is actually pretty subtle. Sweet malt, caramel and hops flavors are evident. The finish is hoppy with a little cappucino kick. If this beer were richer with a more pronounced coffee flavor I would have enjoyed it more.

Aroma is full on roast coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice, black, pours a foamy tan head, some pretty lace too. Flavour has strong coffee notes, dark chocolate and some brazil nuts. Full bodied, very well balanced, bitter and soothing. Great example! Thank You Torontoblue.

Vey enjoyable indeed. Liked the coffee and to me was a very nice mix, not TOO heavy handed, and all too easy to drink.

My pour produced a picturesque head and lace that is a thing of beauty. The nose is subtle, with a hint of coffee and caramel. The palate is full and rich with a nice blend of hops, coffee, and malt. The finish is very chocolaty and long. Overall, this nice coffee stout gives you both booze and caffeine to get you going.
