Testing Lab Stick: Bolivar Cofradia Robusto

Partly from the Petit but translated well to the robusto. Starts on the palette with a Rye/sour dough breadiness and a malted musk, granny smith apple, dates and fig with roasted chestnuts, somewhat buttery; honeyed sweetness, grapefruit zest and muted cardamom and allspice notes. Remaining very consistent from 1st to 2nd third, transitioning the fruit and nut notes to what I perceive as Cinnabon without the glaze but with a faint anise garnish that was dropped in the dirt. Culminating in a beautiful delicatessen blend alike baklava or homemade pecan pie with apple-like acidity. Upon approaching the nub, the nuances of flavors fall the to background, namely the spices leaving roasted chestnuts with a rich soil quality. The robusto having a heavier, bolder profile, more molasses than honey and a lot more petrichor notes.
