On Tap at San Clemente. Wish I could try the barrel aged version...bet it is awesome! Pours with a small tan head over a deep brown body. Aroma of dark fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and raisins. Taste is, well, damn good! Chocolate covered raisins, chewy toffee everywhere, tobacco, leather and excellence in a glass! Creamy mouthfeel, light bubbles.

From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours dark brown with a small amber glare and a minimal white head. Aroma is roasted malt, light liqourice touch. Flavour too has the same notes in the malt profile alongside a subdued sweetness and good counterbalancing bitterness. Lasting roasted malt flavoured into the far finish.
