NOTES:

Hey! Who's the wiseguy that put Boo Berry cereal in my Moka Pot? That's the aroma of beans, brewing, & brew. The last one also involves milk chocolate sweetened earthen additions. The sip is that (with darker cocoa) & blueberry like blueberry is going outta style; this bit has its own undertone of mixed fruit.

Slurps add a warm black pepper and baking spices backing. A seasoned hardwood braces 'tween top & bottom notes. Brilliant delineation of sparkling complexities. Nice nuances in the barnyard underbelly. As the cup cools, BOO! (Berry.) A fun cup, & an accessible one for all its inherent & malty attachment dazzle.

For all the very berry, the cup holds to a quite nifty balance thanks to cocoa | earth/spice. Exceptionally rounded corners fulled to their brims w/ flavor. The dark murky complexion isn't blue -- much to my surprise. Less to my surprise, the long finish adds some walnut vibe, also a bit of black tea astringency. Comfy ain't gotta be boring, says this.

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