The Review
Full disclosure: prior to opening this bag up, I was a little worried seeing ‘dark roast’ on the front. However, my worries were quickly swept away as this is, to put it simply, a dark roast done right. The initial aroma coming off these beans I liken to a rich, dark chocolate brownie mix. It has a great mix of sweetness and body that compliment each other nicely. Upon brewing, the rich chocolate notes and a sweetness almost like a caramel came over me. Overall, it smelled very promising, so I was excited to dive in!
Taste-wise, I’d describe this roast as having ‘dark roast tendencies’, but it truly navigates them well. It was surprisingly smooth with a combo of rich chocolate notes and a sweet toffee. They work well to create a very welcoming environment. There’s a bit of a nuttiness that hits on the back-end and into the finish. This really helps break up the sweetness and adds a nice finishing touch on the roast. Now, call me crazy, but I get a hint of licorice in the background throughout my experience with this coffee. Not a bad thing, and really it might just be me, haha. Overall, I’m normally not a huge dark roast guy, but this roast is very solid. I would highly recommend giving this roast to someone who doesn’t like dark roast coffee- you just might change their mind. Thanks for this, Single Village!
Also, for the next few weeks, $5 from every Single Village bag sold are going towards purchasing soccer uniforms and equipment for youth in Uganda where their farm is located. What a great cause! Check out there website and show your support.
