The fragrance had such incredible sweet smells at City roast level. The sweetness caried some raw sugar notes, which was to be expected. But what was unexpected was the pineapple fruited hint that came through too. The wet aroma smelled saturated with sweet smells of warm sundae toppings like butterscotch and caramel. It produced such a nice aroma, with a sweet-herbal accent of Bay rum. There was a striking bittersweet caramel roast note in the brew that really set the tone in the cup, along with hints of turbinado and sucanat raw sugars. My City roast offered some mild fruit accents, like baked apple, and pear butter, and the finish had a soft bittering note like fruit skins. Full City roast was no slouch either, boasting impressive body that helped convey lush bittersweet flavors. I also noted a very nice flavor note of golden dates that worked well with a profile of rich, dark chocolate truffles. I'm looking forward to trying this roast as espresso in a few days.
