The first smell from the cup is winter spices: slight nutmeg and cardamom.  That leads into a sweet caramel-toffee aroma which combines to evoke sticky-toffee pudding.  There is an initial caramel taste that quickly turns dark, revealing a leather earthiness and caramelized almonds.  What is most memorable about this cup, though, is the rich, luscious creamy mouthfeel that contradicts itself as it becomes dry at the very finish – if you close you eyes while drinking it black, it feels like there is milk in it.  It really is all about the mouthfeel.  Additionally, it is very smooth and there is a juiciness at the end and as it cools it becomes even thicker and the profile more pronounced.
