90	Stumptown Coffee Roasters Portland, Oregon Hair Bender Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: October 2006 Origin: Not disclosed. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Smoke, toast and a hint of flowers in the aroma. In the small cup medium-bodied and smooth in mouthfeel, balanced, rich, simple, with hints of cedar, dark chocolate and toast. Sweet finish. In milk lean-bodied but lush, dominated by a smoky semi-sweet chocolate.
