The sweet aroma is reminiscent of cookie dough. The smoky flavor melds fine tobacco with bittersweet chocolate. The body is full, the acidity mild, and the finish long, low and creamy.

The roast color is a little lighter than the French, so the bittersweet flavor tones are also lighter, leaving room for some winey fruit and spicy pepper to shine through all the way to the finish. There’s a touch of raspberry and cardamon in the aroma, with medium body and mild acidity.

Deep bittersweet chocolate flavor, soft smoky aroma and smooth, medium body.
