If this is light roast I'm scared to find out what the dark roast is like. I guess this is like Starbucks where I should expect everything to be darker because it's one of the old-school 2nd wave shops. Even as a dark roast this would be bitter qnd rubbery when hot. It redeems itself a little once cool. It's chocolate with a plummy, and the rubbery note recedes. It's 3.5 as a dark roast and a 2 as a light. I'll be generous and give it a 3.Cupping Method:K-cup in the evening at a Hilton Garden Inn in Brookline, MA

Very mediocre, slightly astringent cold brew that was barely drinkable even in a plane delay/airport emergencygency. A little bit chocolate and a hint of ashtray. Not sure how these guys have stayed in business for this long. Between my wife and I we got though half before chuckingZCupping Method:LAX Jetblue Terminal
