On tap at San Marcos, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted bready malt and subdued hops. Flavour is fairly bold, with toasted bready malt, caramel and light hop resins. Not the most elegant of a blend, with lacking hop character and a fairly flimsy body. Okay.

On tap at San Marcos, pours a clear dark copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out nasty diacetyl upfront, not much else here. Flavour is disastrous, with tons of butter, caramel malt and light resins. This needs fixing. Not drinkable.
