Mexico Brew Notes

Spencer's Brew Notes
Brew Notes: Sweet Dark Chocolate, Almond, Graham Cracker. Amazing mouthfeel – buttery and smooth – big round body. Low acidity – super drinkable and complex enough to interest those with more discerning palates. As it cooled – more notes of milk chocolate and caramel. Would be great as a single origin offering on a pour over menu – I imagine you could also get some use out of it as a single origin, higher priced espresso option as well – would make for some great caps or macchiatos/cortados.
