Cafe Mexicano Porter brewed with a plethora of specialty malts. Hopped gently with Chinook then conditioned on heaps of dried pasilla peppers, cinnamon, and Rowandan Kanzu coffee beans roasted by @reanimatorcoffee.

Poured from a growler filled at the brewery.
Pours a black color with a very small khaki head. Leaves some decent lacing.
The aroma is filled with notes of chocolate and cinnamon. The back end is slightly spicy with a touch of fresh coffee beans.
The flavor brings lots of bitter roasted coffee and cinnamon. This combination just doesn't work for me. It's like someone poured cinnamon into my dark roast instead of sugar. The finish is lightly spicy from the peppers. So it's like I took a bite of pasilla pepper after a sip of my cinnacoffee.
The feel is medium-light bodied with low carbonation. Still can't get the taste of pepper coffee out of my mouth.
Overall, this is a beer that sounds good from the description, but falls short on execution. The coffee and cinnamon are a nice touch, but they shouldn't be the focal point of the beer. I get no other flavors besides some spicy peppers which honestly don't add much. Very disappointing.
