Stopped in at the shop to pick up my beans, and got the team to brew me a pourover while we chatted. It's super cool to have a local business with this level of passion.
Maximino's Maceration is a special brew. I got red wine tannins on the nose. You can definitely tell it's a natural process, with some fermented flavor. Almost like a dash of soy sauce. Just a little hint of smoky bitters to round out the mouthfeel. It has a pleasant lingering aftertaste with more of those fermented notes. Definitely a treat for the coffee connoisseur in your life. I had almost finished my cup before I made it to the car. It's like a good red wine. Pleasantly juicy, but complex enough you can take your time with it.
