Dark, flavorful espresso with great balanced and depth of flavor. Smoky, earthy, chocolate, nutty in about equal quantity. Definitely pick up the molasses and that note is where the sweetness sits. Roaster notes are pretty accurate I would say. Medium crema that contributes to mouthfeel. Long chocolate linger as a finish that is very enjoyable.
A very nice Italian dark roast for those who don't want their espresso tasting burned to a crisp. It's not overly complex but a winner overall for balance and depth of flavor.
Cupping Method:At Giorla's on Tujunga in LA's Studio City. They sell the bags of this roast in addition to 3 others.
