From the label“Lucha's been through a lot. But that won't stop El Fuerte from his merciless tactics in the ring. That's why we finally decided to really let that java flow. One cup used to do the trick. Then Lucha asked for two before the big fight. Now he's heading to the Popeye/Spinach territory, and it's time to dial up the dark roast. El Fuerte won't know what hit him... Mocha Sombrero blends dark malt and chocolate malt aromas with additions of coffee and vanilla, all culminating in a sliced full-bodied, and approachable stout.”
