Kicking HorseCoffee 454 Horse Power Ground Coffee, 10 OunceUSDA OrganicFairtrade InternationalFairtrade InternationalFairtrade InternationalFairtrade International

One of my favorite dark roasts!

Excellent coffee rich and awsome flavor.

Previously enjoyed "Grizzly Claw" & "Kick Ass" blends.Excited to try "454." It was on sale so I bought two bags.They arrived today. No aroma. Both bags expire in 10 days. Maybe that's why they're on sale.Old stock seems like an Amazon Warehouse problem rather than a Kicking Horse problem....On my second cup, Kicking Horse expired beans are still better than chain store brands.So, I'm enjoying these beans despite the "Best by" date. Hope to try a fresh batch some day.

It's a great coffee. Full flavored but not overpowering.

Purchased this for my wife and she really likes it. Very smooth flavor! Will purchase again.

Great robust dark coffee!!

Good taste and a little easier on the tummy

I’ll start off by saying coffee taste and preference is completely subjective. While down south last year I did discover Westrock Sumatra blend coffee at a hotel. Didn’t think hotel coffee would be good but boy was it heavenly. Only Amazon and Kroger seem to carry it and with no Kroger near me, I didn’t care and paid three time the amount on Amazon because it was that good. Yesterday I discovered it is not available on Amazon anymore and my heart sank. I looked forward to my mornings because of waking up to this coffee.Long story short, I went on a mission and researched and read what felt like a million reviews in order to find something that could compare. I finally settled with Kicking Horse and I was initially going to go with three sisters but because something in the description talked about sweet after tones, I opted for no because I hate when coffee has a sweet aftertaste.My Westrock coffee smelled heavenly out of the bag, filled all my senses while brewing and had a bold, smooth flavor that was savory and satisfying. So I opted for 454 horsepower because it is a dark roast and promised some of the qualities I enjoyed from Westrock coffee. Boy was I disappointed. Upon opening the bag, the aroma did nothing for me at all. While brewing, the aroma was uninspiring. It did not awaken my senses nor did it scream “this is going to be one good cup of coffee”. As far as taste goes, the aftertaste has sweet notes (ewhh…yuck). The flavor is not bold or rich at all. Tastes like McDonald’s Colombian blend coffee from the grocery store. Oh well. Unfortunately I must continue my search despite all the the research I did that led me to this brand and blend, only to be disappointed.Word of caution, if you like bold, smooth, rich tasting coffee that is satisfying and tasty, this is not the coffee for you. I honestly don’t know how this coffee gets such good reviews when it I simply mediocre at best.I only gave it 3 stars because it is edible and the expiration date is a year away. I am debating just throwing it out. But I do not have a replacement yet. Amazon please bring back the Westrock Sumatra blend!!!!!!!!! please!!!!!
