Draft from d55. The regular stone porter in all aspects with the spice kick at the end. More jalapeño than Chipotle.

Poured Dark with a largish head that lasted for awhile. Malt and hops aroma, lots of roastiness here, taste was a perfect marriage of the two, creamy stoutish taste & hops kick to finish. Very very good.
