[ ] Tomorrow (Apr. 8) at noon (‘til?), your local Starbucks will give out free cups of Pike Place Roast, its tasty new brew. (phillyBurbs)
From the story:
This morning we got a sneak peak of Pike Place Roast in Center City. The roast is bold enough to rouse even Lazarus from a deep sleep, and yet smooth enough that it won’t rip the tongue off of anyone with a timid palate. Toasted nuttiness and notes of cocoa are balanced by soft acidity and a subtle sweet finish. Personally we prefer the darker, bolder and bitterer profile of something along the lines of Starbuck’s Verona Roast, but still found Pike Place an agreeable and very quaffable cup of joe.
