The reasoning behind this redux is a switch from Robusto to Robusto of a conceivably different batch. The original (11/7/19) review can be read at: https://bit.ly/2BQy9it This 2d will not reference that 1t. You should read it anyway. It is superbly written.
NOTES:
NOTES:
Mexican chocolate | Earth | Black pepper
Mexican chocolate seasoned for the tastes of a white woman in UGG boots. (Mild, say). Allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon -- hold the chilies. Some finely-ground black pepper. Very earthen with a slightly coarse texture, smoothly. Huh? Scuffed ballbearings sprinkled w/ talc. Dark. Ultimately creamy, toasted then roasted via progression. Cream is an aspect of earth... barnyard.
Undertones are over-ripe red/purple fruit syrups, coffee beans, anise seed, & dark grains. A cola hint. Underbelly is an enveloping of profile via earthiness & a creme brulee thing. Not a lot of flavor notes but quite flavorful & easily-so. Rather a lock-step delivery but never linear -- quite nuanced. Not complex but kindly attainable, sedate. Not boring by a longshot.
Aroma is a supple leather leading out sweetnesses via plush savoriness. All told an accessible meditation held by a friendly guru not hung-up on perfecting your Sanskrit pronunciations. Draws smoothly albeit a tick moist. Burns very slowly, evenly, coolly. The oily ash collects at a snail's pace with a gorilla's strength. A juicy nightcap par excellence.
