overall impressions
cup 1: made morning of 2019.08.27
poured one-quarter of a pint over ice, filled approximately 1/4 of remaining volume with water
very strong and smooth, pretty balanced and very earthy
cup 2: made morning of 2019.08.28
poured one-quarter of a pint over ice, filled approximately 1/4 of remaining volume with water
more charred and burnt flavors than the last cup, but not unbearable
cup 3: made morning of 2019.08.29
poured about one-third of a pint over ice, filled approximately 1/4 of remaining volume with water
larger total cup, maybe a little more off-balance than previously
cup 4: made morning of 2019.08.30
poured over a full glass of ice, no water added
definitely more bitter, stronger taste - needs dilution
cup 5: made morning of 2019.08.31
poured the remainder over a glass of ice, filled about 1/4 with water
very balanced and smooth, getting some smoky and caramel notes
