## What the Brand Says

> Bold, Dark Chocolate, Straight Forward Special Dark is my go to coffee every morning. It has a full body black licorice aroma and tastes of dark chocolate. Normally I drink this black but during the holiday season I love to add a splash of Peppermint Mocha creamer. I even brew this in the early morning hours on Christmas for Santa to stay on his nice list. He is never disappointed!
