Double your pleasure...


Let's start with Secret Stash, which I found to be a wonderful compliment with black beans and habanero-lime soft tortillas.

It's a lovely honey gold that greets you with a floral, grapefruit nose. The underlying beer is very well built and toasty. Certainly worth a second buy. 8/10


And for dessert, I enjoy having a coffee; so, tonight, why not indulge with a Cappuccino Stout, from Pasadena, California?

Darker than an inkwell, fantastic roast both from the coffee and the ale, it just needs a hit of cream & sugar to be complete.

Lagunitas has presented a sweetly constructed beer. It's evident in the grain bill, with a healthy focus on some caramel malt to balance the roast, the hops, and the alcohol.

I want to add that this is a highly carbonated stout, which is uncharacteristic for the style, but is wonderful for this beer.

All put together, this is a great beer. A solid 8/10.
