Flavor and Character

Nothing really jumps out of line; everything just settles into place. Near the end the blend leans into its darker notes and lets the lighter ones fade back The finish hangs around quietly, not demanding attention but not disappearing either.

Once it finds its rhythm the flavors start to show more of themselves with touches of coffee, dry cocoa, and a bit of wood weaving together. The result is a profile that feels familiar in a good way.
