Blind Assessment
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.

Who Should Drink It
Impressive aromatic range and complexity with pleasing mouthfeel in the straight shot; fades a bit in milk.
