Wow, this tastes nothing like a 75%. No sweetness whatsoever. Probably not one I'd buy again unless I was in a late night jazz club having consumed a lovely amount of bourbon or shiraz, or been on the strongest double espressos. It is smoky, it is chilled, it is either "hippy" time or "after show rock gig" time (this one I have experienced). Certainly an interesting mix of flavours. I had two full caff Americanos with just 30% of it. I wouldnt have had it down as a criollo, which just goes to show that I'm not as good as this tasting lark as I thought I was! Still, rock on dude!
