Description
This Sumatra brews a unique cup profile of syrupy fruit flavors indicative of the dry process method, as well as earth-toned, pungent accents we tend to associate to Sumatran coffee. The dry fragrance and aroma had a sweetness of palm sugar, with intense fruits and bittersweetness, winey hints, and a note of green herbs. The aroma smells syrupy, with a liquor undertone, and high level of fruit in the steam. The cup shows incredible complexity, and complex fruit flavors, like stewed plums, green apple and spice, earthy fresh fig, and a root-y sweetness of sarsaparilla. There’s some boozy/fermentation flavors, that along with the heavy-handed fruits, sketch out flavor profiles of peach brandy, and a Winter ale. Aromatic spice notes make a strong impact on the cup aroma, along with thick chocolate sauce, and a rustic cocoa nib note that adds earth-toned, bittersweet accents to the fruited aftertaste. This is an intense brew with big body to match.
