Blind Assessment
The strength of this excellent Mocha-Java is in the full, rich body and complex bottom. The low notes remain alive, complicating and deepening through the finish. Not much lift or sweetness at the top, however. The only grace notes I detected were a touch of carbon and some heavy pruniness.
Notes

Who Should Drink It
French-press aficionados will enjoy this one. Should bloom in milk.
