From the brewer

Up until this brew, none of Lagunitas’ barrel-aged adventures ever made it to shelves. They’ve been super-limited draft-only releases. This time we’ve made enough to actually bottle some … The 100% barrel-aged 2015 High West-ified Coffee Stout. Ale brewed with Coffee from our friends at Petaluma Coffee & Tea, then aged in Rye Whiskey barrels from our friends at High West Distillery in Park City, Utah … barrels that held High West’s Double Rye and American Prairie Bourbon, to be exact. Cheers!

Loads of plum and chocolate on the nose. Mocha notes round out this heavy hitter. I've got another aging for comparison.

Yes. Just as great out of the bottle. More, please.

We all avoided this at Big Wood because someone said it wasn't great, but this was really, really good. Just enough rye against a good coffee stout flavor wrapped in a creamy froth of a finish. No cloying anything. (7 oz schooner)
