C² Café Liqueur

Category: Coffee Liqueur

Date Tasted:
Country: France
Alcohol: 33%
Dark reddish brown color. Aromas and flavors of dark roast, soy sauce and mesquite, chicory, and fermenting plum with a round, lively, fruity medium body and a compelling, medium-length finish manifesting notes of dried cherries and raisins in a glass of espresso, plum sorbet affogato, and burnt molasses. There’s a savory and fruity dynamic here layered on dark roast coffee; quite intriguing.
