- Produces crema at low temperature

- Aroma is earthy but "hupas"

- It's a heavy and bold roast 

- Oilier bean than we're used to

Kristina

- In comparison to Piazza d'Oro, at first whiff of the crema, Siete Baracos smells woodsy---referred to by Dickson as earthy---and watery despite the loose crown of bubbles. It finishes flat, lacking that burnt caramel aftertaste in the back of the tongue that I've come to expect from my preferred roasts. At half-cup, it's bitter on the fore tongue although there's still some aroma from the nose. 

Verdict: 3 out of 5
