The fragrance had a sweet-nutty center, and 'peanut butter cookie' came to mind, with rustic-tinged fruits, freeze dried berry, and a hint of leather. The wet aroma draws out caramelized notes in the steam, with an interesting fruit ferment aspect. The cup tasted quite unique next to our other Brazil coffees. We had a few on the fruity side, and this was certainly one of them. In the hot cup, I found the fruit flavors to be a bit difficult to put my finger on, though that changed once off brew temp. I picked up on dried berry notes, bittering stone fruit skin, and a slight winey edginess, like the acetic-sweetness of a fruit shrub drink. Savory and bittersweet notes round things out, with nutty hints of pistachio and walnut, dark cocoa, and lingering chocolate liqueur. Works well up to 2nd Crack, where fruits fall away to some extent in favor of bittering roast tones, though still felt in juicy mouthfeel and finish.
