Lakefront Fuel Cafe Coffee Stout

Another new look at old notes. These are from April, 2003, and regard the coffee stout from Lakefront Brewery of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.


Color: a dark black, head: thick, brown and frothy.

Aroma, however, starts a downward trend: surprisingly clean, at first, later revealing nuts, some chocolate, slight coffee, and roastiness unfolds with time. Does this one need to "breathe"?
No,..that didn't work, either.

Very smooth on the palate, with nice little appearances from hops. Good texture, nice play on the tongue, big, fat malt.

A decent stout, that I'll give you, but where's the coffee already?

After trying it again, I have to say: decent coffee, but where's the stout, already?
