Blind Assessment

A ready-to-drink black coffee, tested cold. Crisp, sweetly tart, multi-layered. Black cherry, rhododendron, marzipan, oak, baking chocolate. Sweet-tart structure with brisk acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Marzipan and oak carry into the quietly engaging finish. Milk changes the equation entirely; rhododendron and baking chocolate take center stage with levity added by the infused nitrogen.

Notes

This coffee tied for the second-highest rating in a tasting of ready-to-drink black coffees for Coffee Review’s July 2020 tasting report. Prepared by the cold-brew method, which involves prolonged steeping of ground coffee in cold or room-temperature water and subsequent filtering. Infused with nitrogen gas after brewing. Contains no additives or ingredients other than coffee, water and nitrogen gas.

Bottom Line

A balanced, approachably complex nitro cold brew made from Topéca’s longstanding Porch Session Blend. Be forewarned: owing to a very high coffee-to-water brewing ration, one 8.4-ounce can contains as much caffeine as a 20-ounce cup of hot-brewed coffee!
