The aroma of intense chocolate suggests a hot fudge sundae or a pan of freshly baked brownies. A malty edge provides an overall candylike impression. Some aspects of dried fruit are also present: raisin, fig, and cherry. The flavor is also rich in chocolate character, along with suggestions of toffee and vanilla. The balance is sweet, but stops short of cloying with a kiss of hops and a light roast malt presence. This is truly a dessert beverage, with rich and silky chocolate dominating the aroma and flavor. Not as intensely roasted as some examples, but would be interesting poured over a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

Description
The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web of mystery around a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At Southern Tier, they're not surprised that hieroglyphs of the ancient Maya depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the many voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more than a strange currency of the native peoples.
