Gotham’s known for having darker roasts than what’s trendy among the “third wave cafes”. Dark roasts often destroy the beans’ character. Here the pourover tasted clean and complex with notes of tobacco and herbs. My initial thought was “this would pair wonderfully with a cigarette” even though I quit smoking years back.
