NOTES:
Espresso | Dark chocolate | Anise

Richly deep/deeply rich espresso with brilliant crema atop. Plush dark chocolate w/ spice attachments we'll cover in a bit. First to mention the anise again... quite fennel & with a Dr. Pepper nod. Spices: Smoked paprika, allspice, cumin. Pepper: black & enveloped in creamy compost earth.

Lush like my great uncle Leon was. Dense. Roasted. Just the right tick of spitty on its salted caramel body which adds thatta way to the primary-laden finish. Long legs. Gams, see? Supreme balance & zaftig nuances which culminate in some for real tantalizing yet smooth complexities. Red pepper is pleasantly pungent thru the schnoz. Aroma is a meaty heavy dark grain sweetness that hangs close & becomes lip-smacking. Molasses sweetness  & an intriguing Merlot drop from sinuses to palate in the 2/3.

Excellent draw. Even & well-paced burn. Well clung ladder-rung ash. Zilch complaints re: combustion &/or construction. Ima shut up now(ish) but first tell you about the new Kaplowitz Media. Coffee site which you can & should find at: https://bit.ly/384Onin (shameless, I know).  But this stick! Get your hands on it for a substantial meaty sweetie of a time, boy-O.

FINAL GRADE: A
