Draft 5 oz pour at Lichador, Chino Hills. Near black pour, less than dense appearance, soft cola tan head. Huge espresso nose. Almost completely coffee dominated, with just a touch of pepper influence. Pepper heat and flavor really do show up on the flavor though, from first sip and beyond. Mesquite throughout, with some charred malts, espresso, and a green pepper, low heat, full flavor. A really interesting combination here. Unique and enjoyable.
