Espresso Beans | Black Peppercorn | Star Anise
NOTES:
The spice is more feels than flavor. The strength far nuff surpasses the body to be noteworthy. A screamer. A scorcher. Not to ill-effect, however, and all seems according to plan. Please too, to note the difference between aniseed and star anise. I feel I've failed to be overly clear here in the past.
A ghosting of beef jerky. Sniff an empty bag of the stuff with your mouth opened. A slight potpourri vibe. There is more here than meets the eye, but the glare is there. I bet with another ANNV or so rest, this blend will bear brilliance. Not bad right now, if you buckle up.
Dark chocolate comes in at the third/third. At first waxy then rich. See ya next year, babe.
