Kicking Horse has long been on my list of things to try. I'm not really a dark roast drinker, but that's what they are known for. Finally, a friend from Calgary gave me a gift with three bags from Western Canada.
I think this is a very good dark roast coffee at an excellent value. As an espresso, you get the dark chocolate and a balanced smokiness. It has a massive, persistent crema, which is key for the mouthfeel. It's relatively low on the acid side but balanced, which I think is the objective here. I do pick up a smoked vanilla bean-type character as well.
I can see this as an every day drinker for a dark roast lover.Cupping Method:Espresso 95C on my La Spaziale A53
