Blind Assessment
The aroma doesn't provoke much anticipation: roasty, edge of burned, midtoned, without range or nuance. Softens and complicates in the cup, displaying a pleasantly wine-toned balance of sweet acidity and a discreetly bittersweet roastiness. Simplifies again in the rather sharp finish.

Who Should Drink It
This sturdy, tough dark roast should stand up well to whitener and sweetener.
