Tough as Nails - Roasted by Middle Fork Roasters - Whole Bean Coffee - 2 Pound Bag

I really enjoyed this roast. It was strong enough without being bitter. Suttle pepper tones, no flavor was overpowering. It made for a very easy drinking coffee, the pot was gone before I knew it. Stood up well to the sweetness of pancakes or other brunch favorites. Smelled like a cigar when first opening. Chemex brewed.

The name had me pause, but I'm glad I had a chance to try this blend. I was expecting it taste a bit bitter and dry based off the taste profile, but I was delightfully wrong! I use a french press and found this to be a bold dark roast with robust flavor, but none of bitter/burnt taste I had been bracing myself for. I froth my milk and add honey to my coffee and it was so delicious!! The beans have a glistening sheen to them and I loved huffing their scent from the bag. Happily recommend this!
