The beans are matte and even in colour a well developed medium roast it looks like - on opening the bag I did get a whiff of the dark side though.
The dry aroma is quite strong of bitter cocoa and roasted peanuts and there are some earthy notes too. The flavour is pretty one dimensional unfortunately and not overly pleasant to be brutally honest. Theres some dark chocolate and cereal character but not much else. It tastes a little baked and a little over roasted. Any acidity has been roasted away and while there is some sweetness in the cups there is also an overriding ashy taste throughout.
Its not burnt or super dark and Im sure it would make an ok espresso with sugar. Plenty will enjoy this through a domestic espresso machine with sugar and milk but its not pleasant on the cupping table and with this roast profile it dips out of specialty for meCupping Method:Follow @the_qreview on Instagram for photos and the full post.
