Brewery: Lagunitas Brewing Co. | Beer: Cappuccino Stout
Style: American Stout | ABV: 8.0%
Serving Method: 1 Pint, 6 oz. bottle poured into pint glassI picked this bottle up a while ago and it has been languishing in my beer fridge ever since (as you can tell by the discoloration on the label). Coffee, stouts and dogs all rate quite high on my "favorite things" list, so I'm hoping this beer lives up to my expectations.
Appearance: Dark almost impenetrable red-black body with a tall, brown and fizzy head that settles quickly
Aroma: Nutty, hoppy, sweet, tones of roasted malt and a slight hint of coffee at the end
Taste: Surprisingly bitter with roasted malt and hints of coffee, you can certainly detect that 7.99% ABV lurking beneath
Mouthfeel: Velvety and smooth with mild carbonation
Drinkability: The pint goes down slowly and smoothly, but I might just leave it at one (especially with the alcohol content)
Verdict: I didn't pick up the coffee I was hoping to, but this is a fine bitter stout. A good beer to throw into the rotation every now and then, but not something I'd buy regularly.
Grade: C+
