Blind Assessment
A balanced and rather complex ultra dark roast. Intense, deeply smoky aroma, dominated by a charred wood character. By contrast the cup is relatively delicate and smooth with a lightly syrupy body and a gently charred cedar that, with patience, rounds toward caramel. Clean, richly roasty finish.
