I’m a little behind with writing this up, as I finished the bag last week. I kept the bag around so that I could record the roast date, but can’t find it at the moment. When it turns up, I’ll update the post.

These beans have a relatively slow draw-down time. I brewed almost all of the cups with a size 1 V60. A 300g cup is about the limit with this size. I mostly agree with the stated tasting notes- the cups had kind of a rich, milk chocolaty mouthfeel with a little bit of fruitiness to go with it. I thought it was pretty good. There was a bit of a drop-off in extraction towards the end of the (12oz) bag, with my last 2 or 3 cups tasting a little bit weak. I could probably compensate by grinding a little finer.
