Name: bad coffeehouse name. Every time I walk towards the door I am worried I am walking into a party store. Until I see the small type, "grounds for" and then I think, why do all coffeehouses need to have bad puns (except for "Late for the Train" in Flagstaff which is dumb because there is no commuter service train in Flag and they really should have splurged for the extra "t".)?*
Peripheries
Location: Central, on beaver**
Advertisement: Minimal-- I saw 2 signs for pumpkin Latte's and had to really look for eggnog.
Willingness to provide: "Okay" but no real excitement. I felt as if I might be the only asker. (No information on date of first nog served)
Side dish: Sitting aside, untasted/untried.
The Drink (#of eggs, out of 5)
Cup: tall, pleasing to look at, does not require cardboard sleeve.
Tempature: Hot hot! After drive home, letting dogs out and in, arranging sofa, and talking to wife, the first sip was Hot. Just right. What would it have been at counter, frozen pizza hot? (4.5 eggs, perfect for travel but with concern)
Source of Nog: Anderson Erickson(?), (Lite?--the package looked like lite, but did not see that word)- (4 eggs for use of carton, with hesitations)
Coffee: Underwhelmed, only bitter. (3 eggs)
Swallow: Light, bitter, nutmeg, "flavor," cover. Pleasant. (4 eggs)
Nutmeg: Nutmeggy, on the verge of dominant. (4 eggs)
Cover: Smooth, not glossy. 5 eggs
Finish: Lukewarm and thick, chemically. (1 egg) ***
Other: A slight chemical after-taste. Added spice "flavor"?
Result: ****
Final Score:
 |
| (just under) 4 eggs. Best of the season so far (1st). |
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
*And yes I know I am contradicting myself, but it is a bad pun EYE thought of.
**heehee
***I had already given a score before I got to the bottom of the cup, so it did not effect the score, but should have.?.
****only some of you will want to know, so you will have to ask (I am maturing). I must excuse myself to go find out.
