Lagunitas High West-ified Imperial Coffee Stout

Poured up on tap at Beer Craft in Rohnert Park where it exhibits a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up inviting chocolate, some vanilla, whiskey heat and then a caramel and dark roasted malt sensation. The taste delivers chocolate, dark roasted malts, some dark roasted coffee, a dash of caramel and then fairly smooth whiskey booze. Solid sipper yet a bit barrel forward for my taste.

(12oz. bottle) - Pours a huge three finger tan head. But, it’s collapsing right in front of my eyes, leaving a fair amount of lace inside the glass. Dark brownish-black body. Boozy aroma of cocoa and freshly ground medium roast coffee. What an amazing flavor!! Toasted coconut with lightly roasted grains. Just the right amount of hop bitterness on the back end. Mouth feel tells you you’re sipping something with a bit of oomph to it. Not a log of alcohol lingering in the after taste. I don’t smoke cigars. But, this would definitely be classified as a good one to pair with something on the heavy side like a Maduro. Really glad they packaged this as a six-pack rather than a bomber so it will last a lot longer. At $11.99/6-pk this is a steal!!

Bottle thanks to AKfaust: Poured a pitch black with beige head. Strong bourbon alcohol burn with coffee bean. Taste is an awesome blend of bourbon, rye whiskey heat and strong espresso coffee, warms the core with a burn.
