tasting the roast

Sulawesi Toraja Grade 1. Roasted on the weekend to my best approximation of a Vienna roast. A little underextracted, but still quite good. My first non-Peet's single origin espresso. I'm still working on building a "tasting vocabulary". With what I've got, I'd call this maybe "earthy" or "kind of flat", definitely syrupy, with a really thick crema. Kind of an earthy roasty aftertaste as well. Not as acidy as the espresso monkey. So far I'm 3 for 3.
