Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout Beer Review

The Cappuccino Stout from Lagunitas Brewing was my latest beer under review and this 9.1% ABV stout brought some goodness for sure. From its nice dark appearance of its body and its mocha or beige colored foamy head, this one carried a nice presence all the way through. The aromas easily came out of the glass with a nice bouquet of the coffee notes. The taste was solid all around and provided an excellent mouthcoating and mouthfeel experience. A nice texture for sure as it wasn’t too heavy on the palate and just seemed to fit perfectly for this full bodied beer. Check out my video to see my breakdown of this one, but my Untappd rating was a solid 4.5 out of 5 for this limited release ale.
