  A lot going on here, some of it really good and interesting. Chocolate, smoky, perhaps a bit of clove/tobacco spice. I think it has an overlaid slight chemical or texture issue I get in bottled coffee sometimes. But its pretty solid and Id be happy with it on a long car ride.

  Cupping Method:As part of a cold brew tasting, with mostly Snapchill cans (you can see the glass Chameleon bottle by Scottlikescoffee)

  Traits: chocolate smoky

  Tabacco, smoke. Maybe tastes a bit like gasoline but really just not my style.

  I really liked this cold brew! The flavor was unexpected and immediately piqued my interest. It took me a couple sips to figure a good descriptor for the flavor was a smoky tobacco. I can't imagine ever selecting a roast described as smoky tobacco, but I found this to be a compelling and quite flavorful. There was a mild burst of acidity that complimented the flavor nicely. The consistency was a touch watery, so this might make for a great summertime treat.

  Cupping Method:straight from the bottle without cream or sweetener

  Bottled coffee is pretty new for me, and I was pleasantly suprised by this one - smooth and fun, and the smokey kick at the end was really noticeable. I would drink this again.

  This coffee instantly reminded me of lapsang souchong tea, with an smoky flavor. I wouldnt say thats a flavor Im drawn to, unless Im in a particular mood, but I did like this cold brew. It went down pretty smooth and felt more interesting to drink than other cold brews.

  Cupping Method:From the bottle, no cream or sugar

  Traits: earthy smoky
