Fantastic. Where the regular Bear Fight is a bit one-dimensional, the Luchador version is phenomenally complex. It isn't gimmicky with the flavors and spices; rather, it is well-rounded and smooth.

On tap at Strangebird Brewery in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a fairly dark black color, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells very chocolatey, with a touch of peppery spice and some cinnamon, a little bit of vanilla, and coffee.

Regular old Bear Fight still reigns supreme overall, but this is a nice little update to a great beer. It’s a Mexican style stout, but no particular aspect of the adjuncts stands out more strongly than the others. There’s just a wisp of peppery spice on the end, tons of chocolate, and a nice roasty finish.

This is medium bodied, creamy, rich, but not too thick, with no booziness either.

I was really excited to try this one, and I’m happy that it came out so well – it’s probably the best variant of Bear Fight yet.
