A very rich flavored Dark coffee that has a wonderful flavor and takes a dose of sugar as well as some flavored cream if you choose. It reminds me of a great Porter or Stout Beer!
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity, Pleasing Aroma, Rich Bold But Delightful
I've tried a large number of the Keurig coffees, mostly the bolds. I rate the Sumatran Reserve as the best bold coffee available. It's a little less acidy than the Wolfgang Puck (which I like a lot), a little smoother taste than the Green Mountain Dark Magic (which I also like a lot). Yet, it still has the bold flavor. I don't think you can go wrong with the Sumatran Reserve.
Simply, a nice cup of coffee . . . A pleasant aroma with fruity notes on the back end. An interesting fruity flavor with a bit of acidity that's not overbearing. With that said, this blend gets a little thin / watery when over brewed beyond the default 8 ounce pull / shot. All in all, a nice way to begin experimenting with the more exotic beans / blends / roasts. Happy drinking! "After All, Coffee Is The Most Important Meal Of The Day!"
This was my husband's favorite (I prefer a medium roast) but the latest batch came in new, different, green-instead-of-brown packaging and he says the flavor has changed too, and he no longer cares for it.
