The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Coffee

Ground for ground why I never, 
Needed any feedback other than 
The sultry taste, the warm goodness 
Saturating my cunning senses:
 
Within the wee hours of the morn, 
Where dawn sleeps in, catering to
My desirable need for a java rush. 

Poured o'er smooth creamy delights, 
Instant gratification abodes, why I'm 
quite smitten with this mouthful of joe.

Hints of hazelnuts caramelize dazzled, 
By coconuts, wondering how the hell,
The rest of the world is simply sleeping.

Through my sudden arousal for roasted, 
Award winning kaffee, aroma nestled 
To perfection, calming ,comforting noir.

I have never been much of a fan of coffee. I usually spend those 'wee hours of the morn where dawn sleeps in with my cup of hot chocolate. Great write.
