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

12 oz. botltle ours an opaque brown/black with a medium brown head. coffeeish aroma with some floral accents. Medium body, feels a little thin for a stout. Smooth, sweet flavor with some bittering coming on at the finish. Lacks the fullness and richness that I’m looking for.

This is a beer I was hoping for more out of. The aroma, rather then having a clean coffee scent, smelled more like some coffee concoction with a cute name. It comes on very sweet, with very little hint of coffee flavor or richness. The taste fades quickly after leaving the mouth, with just a bit of carbonation.

Bottle from Brock_Landers. Thanks John. Pours a very deep dark brown with very little head. Well there is no doubt that this is a coffee flavored stout as the aroma of coffee beans hits you right square in the nose.I liked this as after the coffee was gone there was a little bitter chocolate left on my tongue.

12oz bottle. Aroma: Fairly strong coffee presence, with a slight sour note. A bit of cocoa, cream, and some light spice, too. Appearance: Dark brown with small chestnut highlights when held to light. Medium tan head was full and creamy with good retention. Fair lacing. Flavor: Light grainy maltiness, cold coffee, cocoa, Medium sourness, some light fruitiness. Palate: Medium-light bodied. Moderate carbonation. Overall: Not bad, but doesn’t quite pull it together. Weak mouthfeel. Sour coffee flavor that lacks richness.

Pours opaque black into the glass, with just ever-so-slight ruby hues around the fringe, and only when held to direct light. The initial 2-finger creamy tan head diminishes slightly, leaving slight sudsy lace. Roasts and milk chocolate to the nose, possibly some slight cherries. This is good.... The stout lacks a bit of the "sweet" notion, so some points off there, as it is drier with not as much of a "meaty" maltiness to it. Dry roasted finish with a definite java effervescence. The mouthfeel is thinner than I expected, as I’m not picking up the sticky palate other users do; however, the roasted grains get a bit stale after a bit. Not bad for a coffee-brewed stout. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.

Sweet, definite java flavor on the nose. Pour as your classic black, brown, I can’t see through the glass stout. Medium light tan head. Coffee flavored with sweet not too syrupy ending. Frothy mouth feel. Great idea; could have been taken to excess, but stops short.

Bottle. Pours quite black with a bit of red and a fast-fading tan head. The aroma has a bit of brownies, light coffee, some sour buttery notes are also noted. The flavor is fairly sour with soy sauce, and weak sweetness. I’m searching for the coffee. . . I think I found it. Maybe. The mouthfeel is fairly flat with just a light spritz on the tongue. Coffee and stout is usually such a harmonious marriage, this could’ve been so much better.

12oz - Aroma of late night diner coffee and roasted chocolate malt. Pours black with a big quickly dissapating brown head and good lacing. Flavor is better than aroma. Coffee is more Dunkin Donuts and malts are fuller flavored. There is some mocha creaminess too. Palate is sticky. Not bad, but nothing special.
