Lagunitas Lumpy Gravy

Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: American Strong Ale
Petaluma, California USA

Bottle from BevMo online. Dark copper/ruby colored upon pouring. Sugary sweet aroma with a fair amount of roasted coffee and some chocolate. Roasted malty character up front with a bit of hoppiness in the finish.

Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a spotty-lacing froth of off-white head. Lightly sweet toasted caramely malty nose has a touch of piny hops and light fruity esters. Body starts with a decent fullness and sweet doughy caramel maltiness and a mild balance of grapefruity bittering hops toward a chewy, bittersweet finish. A decent brew, but could use a bigger hop presence.

Poured a clear red with a large beige head. The aroma is malty with some fruity and nutty notes. Light hops. The flavor is malty with an odd fruitiness and some earthiness. Medium body with a semi-dry bitter finish.

Clear brown, light tan fizzy head. Nose held soft notes of vanilla toast and citrus with an underlying brown sugar tone. Soft hoppy flavors ride over light notes of dark fruit, vanilla caramel and hints of chocolate. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, bittersweet finish. Not bad, not great. Thanks for sharing, artusory!

Bottle. Copper pour with a short fizzy tan head. Nose is caramel, soft fruit, spices, sweet malts and almost dessert-like. Taste is hoppy, spicy, slight floral with yeast notes, caramel, sweet malts, and dark fruit. Body is thick and slightly creamy with some lingering bitterness. Carbonation is moderate. Finishes with more sweet malts, caramel, spices, soft hops and dark fruit notes. Tasty!

Pours with a clear, deep amber body topped by a medium thick head with good lacing. It’s sweet and malty wiht a slight candy sugar note, a little tomato and a hint of hops. Medium bodied, smooth and a hint dry.

dark brown and clear, no head, mild malt nose, slightly bitter on initial swig, then it milds out to a buttery toffee malt flavor, malt dominated flavor, tastes subtly roasty, a lil’ bit warming, a good ale but no stand out.

Very nice looking - dark orange thick fluffy and rocky head. Nutty bread dough aroma along with some sweet bock-like notes of brown sugar, raisins. Palate is smooth, rich, malty, with some pine. Very impressive. I don’t get the booziness others noted.
