We've received a lot of requests for a bare-bones version of coffee reviews that will print well for roast logs and the like. Since everyone uses the reviews differently, we decided to make a format where you can choose which fields you'd like to print. As you check and uncheck the boxes below, fields will appear and disappear to preview roughly what the page will look like when printed (use your browser's "print preview" feature for a more accurate preview). Once you've selected the fields you want, hit the "Print this Review" button to make this header text disappear and print the page. We're planning on adding the ability to put multiple reviews on a page soon, but hopefully this will get you started.

This is a dynamic and brighter espresso at light roasts as well as darker. The dry fragrance has a distinct plum aspect at the lighter levels, with dark caramel and raisin at Full City roast. There is a divide in the wet aroma as well, with the lighter roasts distinguished by rose-like floral scents, over brown sugar sweetness. The darker roast levels have stewed fruits, dried plum and a hint of hibiscus, with chocolate syrup notes. The cup has complex stone fruits, ranging from peach-apricot in the lighter roast levels to the already-mentioned plum-raisin-prune at Full City roast. In any case, it has intense sweetness, and syrupy viscosity. Caramelized sugars are complex in themselves, with Bourbon vanilla retro-nasal aromatics. The finish is has jam-like fruit, along with fig butter. This isn't the kind of espresso I would normally pick for milk drinks, favoring blends with less acidity and more bittersweets. But the Tumulos interacts with lactose sugars to make a dessert-like concoction, really quite exquisite. This is a blend for people who prefer brightness and sweetness over more traditional Continental espresso blends that have heavier roast levels and more bittering roast taste.
