Intense, very light-roasted, naturally sweet coffee. Orange, cedar, nut in the aroma. The citrus note turns to an almost sugary ripe lemon in the cup, with continued cedar and molasses-like complications. Rich, tartly sweet acidity; lively, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Orange reprises along with cedar in the long, resonant finish.
In the pungent aroma chocolate, walnut, toasted grain, perhaps caramel. Mild acidity and balanced flavors, with hints of citrus that soften to a more sweet-toned fruit and then to an earthy chocolate. Slight roughness in the finish distracts from the pleasant bittersweet chocolate character.
Intense, low-toned aroma with semi-sweet chocolate, crisp nut (walnut?) and hints of cedar and clay. In the cup fullish body, muted acidity, and a continued intense presence with complex chocolate, walnut and earth notes. A rather heavy astringency when the cup is hot softens as it cools.
Intense, deep aroma: distinct dark chocolate, spicy cedar and hints of orange and nut. In the cup low in acidity but rather astringent, with a rich, attractive cocoaish chocolate. Both chocolate and astringency carry into the finish, where the shadow nut tones turn (to my palate) slightly cloying.
Evaluated as espresso. As a drip coffee fell quite short of 80. As espresso revealed some virtues. In the aroma sweet-toned with distinct chocolate and butter notes. In the small cup medium bodied, round-toned and sweet, with earth, aromatic wood and herbal notes (I read fennel) and hints of nut and chocolate. The finish was simple in the short and mildly astringent in the long. Surprisingly disappointing in milk: leanish in mouthfeel with banana and chocolate in front but a slight though disturbing note toward the finish that for me suggested salted meat.
The aroma displays a fruit complicated by aromatic wood tones that co-cupper Rodger Owen associated with pine and Ken with cedar. The body is light, the mouthfeel bordering on thin, the flavor delicate and tartly sweet, with sustained aromatic wood notes. Both Ken and Rodger found the finish clean, simple and rather short.
