But does it get you drunk?

Wine tasting notes have a rival.

"This coffee is a wonder: a dry aroma of figs, the finest oolong tea, and chocolate ovaltine, leads to a pour-over of aching elegance. The body is full without being crass, and the coffee has the expansive, warming acidity of pimenton. From hot to cool, the coffee exhibits a consistently knowing, low-key radiance - almost a nonchalance - as if the marron glacé bottom notes know full well that they will inevitably ascend through mid-notes of acacia honey to top notes of strawberry leaves and damp alfalfa lingering, with regret, at the aftertaste of sun-warmed granite and pine needles."
 
I laugh at the note, as I add a slight sprinkle of cinnamon and the tiniest amount of cayenne to the French press coffee this morning.

Think just how much better it would be with some milk and sugar.

away with chaptalization and malolactic!
 
I wish I was up to the task of translating Chinese tea tasting notes. Many of the masters have different notes for each successive steep as well.
