Evaluated as espresso. Deep, sweet-toned aroma: dark chocolate, butter, leather, a hint of pineapple. In the small cup the pineapply fruit note moves forward and dry anise and cedar notes complicate the sweet chocolate. The buttery smoothness of the aroma reasserts itself in a very persistent, complex finish. Rather light, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Very fine in three parts milk: buttery chocolate, pineapply fruit, richly balance.
Evaluated as espresso. Sweet-toned aroma: Banana, crème de menthe, dark chocolate, ripe plum. In the small cup creamy mouthfeel with rich depth and balance; the chocolate turns caramelly and the fruit richer and sweeter, complicated by a hint of anise. Flavor persists in a resonant finish. Excellent flavor in two parts milk: dark chocolate, plum, mint.
Evaluated as espresso. In the small cup, richly and roundly bright without sharpness. Orange, apricot, dark chocolate, hints of fir and night-blooming flowers. Body is medium in weight but impressively velvety in texture. Flavor carries nicely into a sweet finish. In two parts milk delicately and briskly chocolaty with backgrounded hints of fir and fruit.
Evaluated as espresso. Nut-toned chocolate, cedar, delicate florals, quiet vanilla in aroma and small cup. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Chocolate in particular persists in a sweet but drying finish. Flavor carries well in two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. Crisp, lavender-like flowers, molasses sweetness, dark chocolate in aroma and small cup. Creamy mouthfeel. Flavor carries into a smooth finish. The chocolate sweetens and rounds but maintains a crisp complication of lavender in two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. Soft, lush aroma: molasses, lilac-like flowers, chocolate crème. In the small cup full, syrupy mouthfeel and continued molasses, flowers and chocolate with a deep, black-cherry-like fruit. Sweet, chocolate-toned finish. Flavor loses some of its depth and intrigue in two parts milk, though the chocolate survives.
Evaluated as espresso. Intense, complex aroma: cedar, dark chocolate, roasted nut, night-blooming flowers. The aromatics sharpen in the small cup; the flowers turn toward anise and the cedar note dominates. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; rich, buttery finish. Paradoxically turns rather bitter and dry in two parts milk, but softens and sweetens in longer milk, which develops the dark chocolate note while maintaining some deepening memory of cedar and anise.
Evaluated as espresso. Rich, deep, complex. In the small cup aromatic wood, apricot-like fruit, dark chocolate, night-blooming flowers and a hint of lemony citrus in aroma and flavor. Big, velvety mouthfeel. Flavor persists deep in a richly drying finish. Presents a crisply dry, forceful dark chocolate in two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. In the small cup richly complex aroma and flavor: mixed fruit (currant, grape, banana), moist forest wood, caramelly chocolate, vanilla. Full, buoyantly creamy mouthfeel; chocolate dominates in a richly drying finish. Flavor carries with authority into two parts milk: pungent fruit and chocolate with a long, resonant finish.
Evaluated as espresso. Impressive aroma: rich, buttery dark chocolate, backgrounded orange and plum with a hint of flowers. Full, syrupy mouthfeel. The sweetness recedes in flavor and finish, however, and a bitterish, zesty orange and pungent cedar move forward. Powerful, richly chocolaty presence in two to four parts milk, with a continued underlying zesty dryness.
Evaluated as espresso. In the small cup sweetly tart fruit – passion fruit, ripe lemon – rounded by dark chocolate and oak-like wood. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; chocolate and a little lemony brightness carry into a rich, balanced finish and round and sweeten in two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. Brisk, zesty, floral. Anise, flowers, prune, orange zest in aroma and small cup. Smooth, lightly syrupy mouthfeel; gently tart, richly flavor-saturated finish. Orange zest, a hint of flowers and a crisp, cocoaish chocolate in two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. Rich, balanced, deep. In the small cup dark chocolate, apricot-like fruit, almond, a hint of flowers. Full, soft-textured mouthfeel; chocolaty though mildly drying finish. The chocolate, apricot and almond notes mute and soften but maintain character in two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. Deep, earthy, savory. Dark chocolate, caramel, nut, rich earth and faint orange- and apricot-toned fruit in aroma and small cup. Round, lightly syrupy mouthfeel; a crisply dry chocolate dominates in a flavor-saturated finish and carries persuasively into two-parts milk with a complicating hint of orangy fruit.
Evaluated as espresso. Rich, deep, nutty. Molasses, roasted pecan, dark chocolate and pungent, pineapple-like fruit in aroma and small cup. Fullish, creamy mouthfeel; richly dry, fruit-toned finish. Fruit and chocolate survive, though quietly, in two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. Intense, sweetly tart, complex. Passion fruit, melon, hazelnut, vanilla in aroma and small cup. Full, buttery mouthfeel; hazelnut and vanilla in particular carry into a rich finish. Delicate, crisp and chocolaty in two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. Sweet, rich, balanced. Sugary vanilla, crisp baking chocolate, dried orange peel and berry-toned fruit in aroma and small cup. Full, smooth, creamy mouthfeel; candyish vanilla in particular carries into a flavor-saturated finish. Flavor persists well in two parts milk, balanced and composed.
Evaluated as espresso. Balanced, richly complex, distinctive. Vanilla, hazelnut, candied ginger, dark chocolate and ripe, orangy raspberry in aroma and small cup. Full, round mouthfeel; raspberry, ginger and dark chocolate particularly saturate the finish. Preserves richness and complexity two parts milk.
Evaluated as espresso. Lively, complex, comprehensive. Sweetly tart, juicy fruit notes (orange, guava), distinct dark chocolate, flowers, pungent fir in aroma and small cup. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; chocolate and tart fruit tones in the finish. In two parts milk the chocolate note predictably dominates, complicated by a citrusy undercurrent.
Evaluated as espresso. Gently bright and pungent in the small cup: fresh-cut cedar, buttery chocolate, night flowers, hints of apricot and pear. Impressively creamy mouthfeel; rich, flavor-saturated finish. Retains its buttery richness in two parts milk, with flavor dominated by a crisp dark chocolate.
