Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Gently charred cedar, cherryish fruit and dark chocolate in the aroma. Full, though very slightly rough mouthfeel. Hints of lemon and anise develop in the cup, complicating the continuing cedar and dark chocolate. Sweet, rich finish. The dark chocolate sensation simply and pleasingly dominates in two parts milk, although hints of cedar and lemon persist.
