Aroma - 10 - Deep, rich aromas of intense smoke quickly fill the room touched by mild oily notes and faint hints of caramelized molasses in the bottom end. This coffee definitely wouldn't seem out of place at a Starbucks based on its aroma alone.;Flavor - 10 - We've been longing for an espresso roast coffee that tasted as intense as an espresso and this sure delivered. An intense blast of strong smoke & oils gives way to bittersweet dark chocolate throughout the cup. Smoky dark chocolate typically associated with espressos? We like!;Acidity - 10 - Despite the tempest of intensity swirling about in the cup, things were very well balanced overall with a slight sour hit up front for a few seconds which immediately gives way to the main flavors in the coffee and lets them shine through unimpeded. Just enough to keep things popping without covering anything up.;Mouth Feel - 10 - Seemed a bit light at first, but was still surprisingly super smooth with the usual oily notes found in espressos showing up near the middle of each sip. Despite the oils being present, it wasn't anything overbearing and further added to the experience. Finish was on the sweet side with a load of dark chocolate & smoky notes present which even carried through into the final aftertaste. Packaging may vary.;Body - 10 - The theme of intensity continues as super dark colors give way to deep shades of wine-like burgundy red which was edged-out by deep shades of orange underneath when held in front of a light source. This only helped make things look as intense as they tasted.
