Blind Assessment
Big, fruit- and floral-toned. Dark chocolate, black cherry, hazelnut, musky lily, a hint of rye whisky in aroma and cup. Round, resonant acidity; syrupy mouthfeel. Lily and chocolate carry into a deep finish.

Who Should Drink It
A fine dried-in-the-fruit coffee at the intriguing intersection of cherryish fruit, chocolate, whisky and deep, lily-like flowers.
