I tried my first Java Red today. Pre-light aroma was typical Java in fashion. It was sweet smelling, but not overpowering like an Acid Kuba Kuba. The flavors was more mild than the Java Latte (if that's really possible). I was surprised with the smoke production - the thing was producing smoke like a chimney. Good pleasant "dessert" smoke. Over all I was pleased, but the cost at the local B&M was too high for this to get in my regular infused rotation. I may have to look for sales online if I want any more in the future.
