Blind Assessment: A tactful darker roast influences the profile. Deep, pungently sweet-toned aroma: dark chocolate, hints of raisin, gently charred cedar. Roast-muted acidity, smooth though rather lean mouthfeel. Dark chocolate pleasingly carries into cup and finish with continued cedar and raisiny fruit suggestions.
