89	Allegro Coffee Thornton, Colorado Celebration Caffe Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: December 2003 Origin: Not disclosed Price: $7.95/8oz

Blind Assessment: The aroma is subdued but complex with leather, chocolate and apricot. In the cup a fine balance of bitter bite and seductive sweetness, complicated by an apricot-almond-toned fruit and a crisp bittersweet chocolate. Medium-bodied, gently rich.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
