Fairly muted aroma, but a big whiff might show you some cocoa and a light roast. As much as I couldn't find any coffee in the aroma, the flavors did a 180° turnaround. Strong coffee, nice flavor for sure. Creamy smooth texture. Along with the coffee, cocoa and caramel are also strong flavor contributors from start to finish, complementing each other wonderfully.
There is also a good dose of roasted malt, smoke and an ashy dryness that shows up in the middle and carries into the aftertaste. Nicely balanced, not sweet or bitter or harsh at all. I certainly would have enjoyed a bigger, richer body, but whatever, it wasn't too thin. Very enjoyable with nice flavors. This winter pack has my stamp of approval.
