Cavatica Stout
Fort George Brewery + Public House

Gorgeous midnight dark body giving up a creamy latte head.
The nose is all about the roasted barley, with a bit of your grandfather's cigar box.
The flavor is nicely balanced with cocoa and dark bread and a healthy hoppy bite.
Mouthfeel is moderate.
Overall a great stout I'll definitely do again.

Picked up a 16 oz can from the North Coast Co-op cooler in Arcata, CA on 3-4-26 for $3.49. Canned 10-23-25; consumed 3-6-26.

Beer poured black with a very nice brown head.

Nose is roasted malts forward with some chocolate.

Taste is a medium roasted malt base that gives a touch of molasses and chocolate. Hopping brings a nice balance to this and the roasting wins on the back end leaving an abrasive bitterness. Post sip aspirations bring more chocolate.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied, very soft and smooth.

Overall, this is a very nice imperial stout at a nice price!

The pour is stout black with a tall light brown head that left sheets of lacing.
The taste is a very well balanced combination of the standard flavors; dark chocolate, medium brew coffee, dark bread malts and a hint of char that provides an edge to the rest to keep it from being sweet. Well done and very tasty.
The feel is just enough body to carry the flavors and is very quaffable.
OA, after I took the last sip I was sad that there was no more. It isn’t fancy but it is a solid imperial stout.

Blackish-brown pour, clear; coal-black and opaque in the glass; thick head, rich yet frothy and creamy in appearance, long-lasting. Relatively mild aroma; soft dark grain hints with a bit of char; faint chocolate notes. Bold yet balanced flavors; modestly sweet milk chocolate offset with mild grain char bitterness. Heavy yet silky smooth mouthfeel; semi-sweet character.

The brewery calls this a double strong American stout. No argument here. Damn good!

Dark black. Almond head. It’s almost really good but falls just a bit short. Notes of coconut and malt. It’s just a little flat somehow. A little flabby.

 

 

A very dark color with a slight head and lacing
Aroma has cocoa and roasted malt hints
Taste has a cocoa and roasted malt flavors
A medium bodied decently carbonated beer
A good stout

Figured this was a regular American Stout, not a proper imperial. Super rich but easy drinking. Big time classic malt profile. For $7 this is great. Pint from draft at the spot in Astoria. Highly recommend.

Big roasted malt aroma and flavor with nice chocolate and coffee notes; fairly rich. Good balance with light sweetness. Medium to light bodied with a dry roasty finish.

This almost black brew is unfiltered and refreshing with a carmel and bitter chocolate taste with green apples in the back ground. It’s a great stout and one I would recommend.

 

A decent Stout that pours a minimal head that is tan and a deep dark brown color. Has a touch of bitter, chocolate, and coffee flavors and aroma. This beer feels medium heavy and has a pretty smooth finish. Rated 2-10-2019

One of the consistent stouts made here in the PNW!
Coffee cocoa yummness.
I think it’s a little under rated but I dig most things FG does.
Keep it on your rotation.

Nice pour, good color and head .

No real smell, was hoping for coconut.

Very smooth and great mouthfeel, but again, no coconut.

Good beer, doesn‘t live up to the name

Appearance - Pours black with cola brown edging where light can penetrate. Tan, finger width head that dissipates quickly to a thin, broken layer of suds across the surface. Lacing is minimal, with sporadic small to fair sized spots.

Smell - Cream, coffee, chocolate malt, hint of raisin and booze.

Taste - Follows the nose. Coffee, roasted malt, malted chocolate and cream to start. Mid-taste brings some booze and raisin fruitiness. Finish brings more cream, almost delving into vanilla flavor, while the aftertaste blends the aforementioned notes that dwindle slowly.

Mouthfeel - Full-bodied with low-to-moderate carbonation. Silky, creamy texture. Dry finish.

Overall - This may be considered an American Imperial, but it drinks very much like an RIS. Smooth and creamy but the flavor is reminiscent of Old Raspy.

16oz can poured into a SA perfect pint glass

A- pours black in color with a one-finger creamy khaki head that has good retention

S- roast, char, chocolate, black licorice, cereal grains

T- sweet malty chocolate up front is followed by some charred malt that gives hints of coffee and anise. Mid-palate gives more chocolate and some herbal hop undertones. The finish gives more char with a chocolaty malt linger

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns slightly creamy into the finish, abv hidden well

Canned on: 7-27-23

Many thanks to muchloveforhops3 for this can!

A - Pitch black pour with dense, creamy, toffee colored lacing.

S - Roasted cocoa and char dominate the nose.

T - Light roasted chocolate / milk cocoa malt base, delicate char and ends slightly on the sweeter side with very light bitterness.

M - Silky, viscous body with a well hidden ABV.

O - This definitely doesn't drink like an 8.8% beer = deceptive.
