Black Blood of the Earth from [http://www.funraniumlabs.com Funranium Labs] is a vacuum extracted cold brewed coffee.  It's fun, and it's strong.  I've been getting it for a while, but now I want to record my tasting notes so I can keep track of which ones I actually like.

SU (Sumatra) - Straight is a little strong, with over-roasted and almost burned flavors.  Mixed/diluted it becomes pleasant and almost sweet, as most BBotE does, with basic coffee flavors.

KE (Kenya) - Straight is a strong, medium roast coffee flavor.  Mixed/diluted Very nice, smooth, very easy to drink with lots of rich coffee flavors.

MO (Malabar) - Straight is a little bitter, uninspiring flavor.  Mixed/diluted it's sort of uninspiring.  Very generic.

ET (Etheopia) - Straight is strong coffee, but not bitter.  Very nice mixed with milk.  Mixed/diluted it's a pleasant, smooth, easy to drink coffee.

KB (Kona Blend) - Straight is flavorful, strong, very tasty.  Probably best to drink straight of all of these.  Mixed/diluted with seltzer it's a very nice coffee soda.  Definitely the best of the bunch.

Jamaica Blue Mountain - Straight A little bitter, but very flavorful.  Rich and pleasant despite the bitterness.  Mixed/diluted with seltzer: strong and smooth with the bitterness gone.

Tanzania - Straight has a nice coffee flavor.  Smooth and a little bitter, but very drinkable.

DW (Death Wish) - Straight is strong, very dark roasted but not quite burned flavor, but not bitter.

Colombia - Straight up front punch of coffee and chocolate with a touch of balancing bitterness that doesn't detract.

Pe (Peru Salkanty) - Straight notes of old leather and tobacco.  Not unpleasant, but weirdly dry on the palate.
