Blind Assessment
Fermented notes, barely detectable in the acidy notes of the aroma, dominate in the cup, particularly as the coffee cools, turning from mild distraction to barnyard nasty.
Notes
Medium-light roast reveals fermented notes which turn barnyard nasty. A blend. Whole beans in valve pack. Thirteen-ounce bag $4.99, or $6.14 per pound.
Who Should Drink It
Anyone who wants to know how bad a fermented coffee can taste. In fruitier coffees brought to a somewhat darker roast mild ferment can be marginally pleasing, but not here, where the coffee isn't much to start with and the medium-light roast reveals everything.
