Brown black color. Aromas and flavors of dark roast cold press coffee, roasted nuts, and caramelized banana with a satiny, crisp, off-dry medium body and a medium-length finish revealing notes of dark roast, espresso bean, caramel syrup, and affogato. A delicious and bold coffee liqueur to use in cocktails, after dinner drinks, and baking; for the dark roast, espresso drinker.

Truth in labeling here: the attached tag reads, “Not So Sweet.” Indeed, this inky-dark brown liqueur is full-on coffee, no sugar in sight. The powerful fresh espresso aroma leads to a relatively dry palate that suggests fresh-ground coffee beans, with a fleeting vanilla note midpalate, winding into a bracing touch of cocoa-nib bitterness and warming clove on the finish.
