Impact
Express-o... Rodney Dangerfield's coffee cousin, Juan Valdez, tops it off, then rapidly empties the tank & runs long on fumes.
Appearance 4 / 5
| Color: | warm umber |
| Surface: | fairly uniform pebbles |
| Temper: | semi-flat |
| Snap: | n/a |
Aroma 7.9 / 10
no aroma-nomalies here: coffee just rents the box into itsy-bitsy pieces of confetti w/ vibrantly bright acidity
Mouthfeel 9.4 / 15
| Texture: | gravel, grit & grind |
| Melt: | nut shells & sea shells |
Flavor 34.8 / 50
jolting: sugar spice (cinnamon) tries to tame an eye-popping hot-roasted coffee -> chocolate there for the roadkill -> driving café rolls on long & strong as its volatiles just coat the atmosphere
Quality 12.6 / 20
Artless. Dunno what 'espresso' has to really do with this other than a marketing ploy since nothing's brewed here. Just an unremarkablly straight-forward Ecuadorian coffee bean dunked in sugared-chocolate.
