Tap @ Baileys Taproom... Poured black with a light brown head. Very chalky, lots of oat flavors, roast, mild hints of whiskey with some sweet grains. Vanilla, oak, charred notes too.

on tap at toronado on my second may 11. cocoa powder aroma. creamy with some porridge and woodiness. perhaps a little too much sweetness but still quite pleasant

Pitch black coloured body with a non-existant head. Aroma of roasted malt, light coffee and some bittersweet (~60% cacao) chocolate. Medium-bodied; Mouth coating chocolate flavour with a ton of roasted malt & coffee flavours-very nice! End finishes with a slight lactic twang and some cherries. Overall, another good pick from El Toro! Cheers again to Toronado for bringing in this fine beer. I sampled this pint (served in a snifter) from draught at Toronado in San Francisco, California on the second day of 10-June-2004...our first was spent in Sydney, Australia.

Tap@Toronado, San Fransisco. Pretty sweet and rich. Roasty, with definite oak, whiskey and peaty malt notes, very rich and sweet, dries out a touch towrds the end, very tasty though.
