Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

4.3/5

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20

22 ounce bottle into snifter, 2010 release. Pours clear dark brown color with a dense 2 finger light tan head with great retention that reduces to a fairly thick lacing cap that lasts for the whole glass, and leaves some nice glass lacing. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, vanilla, and a bit of dark fruits. Aromas are a little weak here. Taste of strong chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts with some vanilla. There is some slight bitterness on the finish that lingers for a bit with coffee, chocolate, and roasted flavors lingering longer than the bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Very smooth and creamy mouthfeel, with no alcohol presence noticed. Overall a delicious stout with a lot of good balanced flavor, and another winner from Lagunitas. Fantastic.

I definitely enjoyed this one highly. Reminded me of Founders Breakfast stout a bit as well. Very delicious and drinkable.
