| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Pours rich black coffee color with small aerated head. Aromas of freshly brewed java, vanilla, and caramel. Rich, but a little fizzy, mouthfeel gives enough to chew on. Nuanced flavors are balanced and moreish. Initial flavors are vanilla bean and cocoa, like chocolate fudge swirl. Roasted flavors and especially cappuccino comes out later, and finishes clean if not a bit too fast.
