Chocolate, nougat and brown sugar. Full-bodied and rich, roasted darker to develop the sweetness rather than the fruit, and built to be a potent shot.
Blue Bottle formulate this one specifically for espresso and it behaves like a classic dark espresso blend: forgiving on grind, heavy on crema, sweet rather than bright. As filter it is chocolatey and low-acid, closer to Dogspeed than to anything else here.
