El Capitan
El Capitan was the first stout from Bullhouse and the first beer the brewery sold commercially. The export-strength stout rests on rich roasted malt, from which notes of dark chocolate, vanilla and caramel develop. The brewery calls it bold and smooth, full-bodied without feeling heavy. It was conceived for the colder months but stays in the range all year.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
