Blind Assessment
Not particularly refined, but balanced and robust, especially when hot. Rich, pungently roasty aroma: roasted nut, aromatic wood, cherryish dark chocolate. Aromatic wood and an attractive dry, nutty chocolate dominate in the cup. Simple but very rich finish.

Who Should Drink It
For those who buy by metaphor, a genuinely wild, outlawish coffee. For those who track through coffee types and origins, an excellent example of a coffee that uses a moderately dark roast to develop the rough beauty of what are probably one or two dry-processed or natural components.
