Notes:

I saw that it was going to run fast from the last time I made this, but I liked it a lot then so I went ahead without changing the grind or profile. This shot was even faster than expected. It’s almost not (or isn’t) espresso with such a low peak pressure. I almost didn’t drink it.

Pipe tobacco aroma. Dark acidic, perhaps tobacco flavor. Some fuzziness — perhaps phosphoric acid from yesterday’s shot? Getting closer to a dark IPA as it cools, or bitter cola. Cola tobacco finish.

Charcoal dark with foam. So close to being ashy.

30 min after finishing, tingly-ness on front of tongue, rock-in-the-mouth dry, almost smoky. Developing to aspirin-y (back of tongue) and tingly dry (front of tongue), after-Sprite-like aftertaste. Lingered all day.

Probably quite under extracted, though not with the oft-expressed flavor markers (like sour, salty).
