Full Cupping Notes

Grinding a City+ roast laid out a simple, yet balanced profile of cocoa powder and dark brown sugar, accented by hints of roasted almond. The wet aroma gave off very nice bittersweet intensity, a smokey 'roast' layer that underscored some of the dark chocolate and nutty notes. The cup pulls together a mix of these characteristics, bearing dense, dark roast tones, soft acidity, and savory accents. A flavor of burnt sugar carries a smokey-sweet aspect, shifting to notes of dark caramel, high % dark chocolate bar, and toffee peanut. The finish showed bittersweet accents of sea salt chocolate brownie, and bittersweet bundt cake.
