This exceptional and unusual coffee starts off with smells of sweetness, darkness and chocolate with numerous savory spices, and burnt sugar.  The flavors pick up where the aroma leaves off with wintry tones of well worn leather, old pipe tobacco, and bittersweet chocolate.  The mouthfeel is quite dry and papery with practically no acidity.  What emerges at the finish is the typical Sumatran cedar note, especially pronounced as it cools.  A great example of an aged bean.

This is big bean coffee, both in terms of looks and flavors!  It starts with a sweet, dark-bitter smell with really pronounced organic-earthy aromas.  Some unusual notes include scalloped potatoes and sweet onions with a hint of freshly mulched flower bed.  The mouthfeel stands out as very thick, deep, and rich and continues through with big body.  The flavors include some slight fruit notes such as black cherry and fig – think about the sweet earthiness ones gets from dried fruit.  There are clear wood tones like cedar wood mixed with nuts, and dark, dark baker’s chocolate.  This cup is well balanced and finishes smoky-peppery and dry, and has practically no acidity. A really superb coffee.
