What do reviewers say about Selective II and Intoxicated?

Some will call it too sweet. Those people haven't found the coffee underneath yet. The caramel doesn't dominate, it softens the bitterness, adds body.Selective II

Intoxicated is sweet enough to draw people in, but the coffee and spice give it an edge. It's not playing it safe. Think of it as that coffee shop atmosphere you want to disappear into.Intoxicated
