Danes's Brasilero is ann Italian Style Espresso that offers a robust and complex flavor profile. The initial notes are smoky and chocolatey, which are particularly enjoyable and give the espresso a rich depth. The crema is excellent, providing a smooth and velvety texture that enhances the overall drinking experience.
The flavor profile includes a pleasant bitterness, which adds to the complexity and makes each sip interesting. There's also a hint of earthiness that complements the main notes, giving the espresso a well-rounded character.
However, there is a slightly rubbery and woody note in the middle. While this isn't overpowering, it is noticeable and might not be to everyone's taste. It's a bit like an ashtray, and while it's not a dealbreaker, it's enough to make me hesitant about ordering this espresso again.
For me, Danesi Brasilero is a decent espresso with good qualities, but the slightly off-putting middle note makes it less appealing for regular consumption. If you enjoy complex, bitter espressos with a smoky and chocolate character, it's worth trying, but it might not be for everyone.
