Lakefront Fuel Cafe

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Sweet Stout
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

This one certainly smells better than it taste - aroma is nice and simple - pretty much coffee and then some dark chocolate in the back ground. Coffee is front and center in the flavor, as well, with with an odd mix red wine and chocolate and maybe some cola notes, as well. Enjoyable.

Nose is clay, brown malt, roasty light smoke. Flavor is roasty & malty. Sickly sweet, smoke. Not much else.

strong scent of coffee and some chocolate tones as well. taste is of strong coffee and burnt roast. very earthy taste to this beer. I probably wouldn’t purchase this again.

Seems weak for a sweet stout and not very complex. Coffee and soy auce. Like a macro version of a stout or something.

Ok, I’m a huge coffee fan, and this beer really won me over. It sat in the bottle deep, deep black, pouting out with a resepectable head and the unmistakable aroma of a mocha coffee. The palate is caramel sugars, coffee, sweet malts, and semi-sweet chocolate. Definitely give this one a try.

The beer is very black, with an off-choclate head color. The beer looks decent.The head is not thick, but very bubbly. I am not a fan of the head, but that doesn’t mean a thing in regards to taste. Wow, what an awesome coffee and choclate aroma. I wish a few more scents could have been added i.e. wood, leather, smoke. This is just like smelling chocolate coffee; a very pleasing aroma indeed. Too thin to be a stout. Also, the 4.4% ABV is a little disrespectful to the style. This beer is heavily watered down, and the palate just misses the point. The coffee/chocolate flavor pattern sticks throughout the flavor. There is not much else to say for this beer other than coffee, and chocolate dominate. Not a horrible beer in the aroma and appearance, but once you taste the watered down part you will wish you purchased something a little thicker and more alcoholic. Decent brew, but there are so many better stouts out there than this.

This beer was rather weak, for a stout. It had a lighter feel to it than any other stout that I can remember. It had something of a grape flavoring which reminded me of a cheap wine. Very sweet tasting.
