NOTES:
There's something blue-collar punk about this. Coffee for the factory worker's kid who just bought an amp at the pawnshop. Dark chocolate sip, richly & bigly. Say, 85% cacao. Why not?

Carob and plums fill out the earthen-driven sip. Clean, not bright at all. Slurps with notes of black walnut and more, darker dirt. Is "rad" a tasting note? Wooden bitterness braces firmly. Charred oak.

Not complex. Nuanced, though, & on account of its bold depths. Nice and weighty in the mouth... dependable. You sure "rad" ain't a tasting note, brah? Fun cup. Finish is a licorice addition to top-notes laid out long & strong.

FINAL GRADE: B+
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
