I am new to the coffee rating world. Most of the time I drink the coffee either hot and straight black or cold with a bit of sweet cream. Today I tried it cold with a bit of sweet cream and was pleased at the good coffee flavors coming through. I am sure I would like it hot as well. Slightly bitter like coffee should be and when a coffee tastes as good as it smells or better, that is some good coffee. I would drink it again, but don't know if the taste is worth the slightly higher price than some of the others that I like as well.
I like to use a lot of half and half in my coffee, but I need to be able to taste the coffee itself. This one worked for me, bold, but not super bold; a nice smooth feel, and no bitter aftertaste. Yummy.
I received this roast in a sample pack alongside a french roast, italian roast, and house blend. The Colombian was unfortunately a weaker performed of the lot. I drank it black and it started with a robust flavor, but towards the finish there is dominant earthiness and and bitterness hit out of nowhere. Certainly not as smooth and easy drinking as I would have hoped.
