This roast is great for a winter warm-up! The strong flavor is a bit unique, presenting as sweet toasted oat, almost reminiscent of a winter oatmeal stout.
Didnt work for me in any milk drinks.
I wrestled with this one a lot. I got OK but not fantastic espresso out of it, and couldn't dial-in any of the milk drinks. I let it de-gas for awhile as it had a massive crema on the first couple of extractions. Still couldn't really get this one to balance out. I get this sometimes with seasonal single-origin espressos. It's not that it's a bit acidic really, it's that it's sort of a flat citric acidity that's not floral or fruity in a way that works well. Best outcome was actually as pourover where it drinks nice and smooth similar to a breakfast blend with some green apple notes. These aren't bad beans or a bad roast, I just think the bag I got is a little out of balance for espresso. I did really like the drip I had on the way back from New York City from this roaster, so I would be happy to give them another shot.
