| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Mar 31, 2008 Deep red-brown. Wispy mocha head. Nose smoke, charcoal, bit of coffee. Palate is a mite thin, not enough body. Flavor is quite smoky, sharp roasts. Faint chocolate, mostly coffee bitterness. Needs a better palate, just doesn’t have enough heft to stand up to the nice roastiness. pineypower (1104), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
