Too much chocolate

Really good

This was a fantastic coffee. I absolutely loved the flavors and it's perfect for a smaller cup in the mornings or the afternoons.
I will say, despite how much I enjoyed it, it was just a bit too dark and bitter for me.

Didn’t like this one at all, would not order this again.

I hate caramel and this made me me change my stance on caramel. My husband and I love this coffee.

This one was earthier than I generally like (although, i suspect many will, especially around the Holidays). I thought the aroma was off-putting too. HOWEVER, as suggested in the description, I tried it finely ground in my expresso machine and it made a very good expresso.
12/24/2022
Too acidic
12/20/2022
I loved this one. fruity and light. Just right.
12/16/2022
I liked the slightly more sweet notes in this blend. Made for nice milk based espresso drinks
12/10/2022
Not robust enough for my preferences. It was good, but could have been fuller-bodied. Not as roasty as I would have liked. More standard cup of coffee.
12/9/2022
Not dark enough.
12/6/2022
Pretty good -would still like more full bodied
11/26/2022
Came off a bit bitter for my taste. Wasn't horrible but also not the best.
11/17/2022
Not fully bodied and tasteless.
11/15/2022
Favorite so far
11/11/2022
I love how rich this coffee is. It smells chocolaty which I really enjoy.
11/6/2022
Solid everyday coffee, which trends slightly bitter.
11/6/2022
Good but a little too bitter for me.
11/1/2022
Really tastey, dark chocolate and nutty…great body and crema, lacks a little complexity but very good “comfort food” blend.
10/30/2022
Really nicely balanced roast, not too light or too dark.
10/22/2022
Good but I got tired of it before the end
10/20/2022
Enjoying this one a lot whether it's in our drip coffee maker or in the Bialetti moka pot.
10/15/2022
OK when using 20g, but not as much flavor as I’d like.
10/11/2022
Great espresso-
9/25/2022
tasty and chocolate tasting - like the overall taste
9/23/2022
Nothing to write home about. Wouldn't get again.
9/20/2022
really liked
9/19/2022
Solid good easy drinking French press
9/16/2022
It smells great but the flavor seems light. It grinds well but I’m not enjoying this one as much.
9/14/2022
standard
9/13/2022
Perfect balance, not bitter at all, very smooth
9/2/2022
Flavor profile was spot on. Liked every cup
9/1/2022
It was a solid coffee, bitterness was reduced with oat milk and a coarser grind. Overall pretty good.
8/26/2022
Can taste the coffee flavor but doesn’t seem too bitter
8/20/2022
just not for me
8/14/2022
Flavor was okay but roast was a little light for my taste.
7/13/2022
Not my favorite. To dark
7/3/2022
Pretty good, better warm. Crisp and nutty.
6/25/2022
Best coffee tasted in awhile. Love it.
4/27/2022
Great but the darkness was not my style
3/27/2022
I know that Red Rooster is a VERY light roaster (they are relatively local to me), so I was hopeful that since it was a medium dark by their standards it would be my 'normal' light roast. It was definitely better than a previous light roast from RR, but the darker notes (the caramel and chocolate) were still hard to discern.
3/4/2022
He liked this one, I don't remember this one.
2/3/2022
100% my new daily coffee
12/9/2021
Not as full-bodied as I like...merely OK
10/29/2021
Loved the medium dark blend. Always wanting something in the middle of medium and dark and this was it!
10/22/2021
It’s good, but a little nutty.
It definitely has a strong, bold flavor.
I love the packaging!

Too sour
6/23/2021
Pretty good, again no complaints
6/19/2021
Awesome!
6/9/2021
Maybe it was just the somewhat darker roast but didn't care too much for this one. Definitely picked up on the chocolate notes.
Brewed in the Ratio 8 coffee maker. 55g beans, medium grind (22/40 - Baratza Encore). 1.2L of water.

This is the kind of coffee I'm always looking for. It has bold flavor without being to dark.
5/7/2021
It tasted fresh, but something about the flavor profile both me and my wife did not just Love.
4/16/2021
aeropress: kind of..boring(?) not as flavorful, not that rich.
3/27/2021
This was just ok. Bitter earthy. Had a burnt aftertaste that lingers. Like burnt Carmel but not in a nice way.
3/24/2021
Have only used for espresso so far. I'm not getting the chocolate or the caramel flavors, it's very bitter (but not in such a way where I brewed incorrectly). I'm excited to try this as a pour over or cold brew. It goes well with milk. I think maybe I like my coffee a liiiiittle bit brighter. We'll have to see!
2/27/2021
This coffee tastes delicious. Well balanced.
1/23/2021
Very acidic. Lots of citrus flavors, not at all what I'm looking for.
1/17/2021
Very delicious and smooth! Easy to drink black.

I really enjoyed the flavors in this coffee and it was well balanced. Very smooth and a repeat coffee purchase.
9/13/2020
I found this a little weak in taste
9/8/2020
A bit on the sour/acidic side.
9/7/2020
This was a really good coffee. It was smooth and easy to drink with good flavors. However, there was a strange aftertaste that I didn't enjoy that much.
8/31/2020
Very smooth, no unpleasant aftertaste
8/28/2020
Seems somewhat bitter to my untrained pallette.
8/16/2020
Great cup of Coffee, smooth and mellow while also complex
8/11/2020
This was one of my favorite coffees so far. It had an interesting sweet, caramel taste, no bitter notes.
8/4/2020
Not as smooth as I hoped
7/29/2020
Second only to the daytripper so far of the coffees we have received
7/28/2020
A standard diner blend. Not memorable, not terrible.
7/28/2020
One of my favorites that 've gotten.
7/27/2020
A delicious full-bodied coffee with the caramel notes coming in strong! It also got to us within one day of roasting which was unbelievable
7/25/2020
This was pretty good, but not amazing in espresso
7/19/2020
Perfect!
7/18/2020
loved this one
7/9/2020
I like the chocolat-ey flavor, but I would like more stronger, thicker taste. I can't taste the caramel as much.
