On the tasting block today the the "Black Tiger" K-Cup by Coffee People. The Black Tiger brews up a deep, dark brown color with a hint of ruddiness. Straight off the brewer there is a light golden-brown froth along with a very faint oiliness on top of the cup. The nose has earthy notes along with smoke and some roast.
On the palate there is a nice acidity paired up with a bitter kick up front that fades to an oily, roasted coffee backbone. Some hazelnut flavor is present along with some earth. There is a bit of a fruity note in the back that has a bit of a green pepper herb/spice undertone. The finish has roasted nuts and earth fading to a slight astringent oiliness with some faint roast.
The Black Tiger is an interesting take on a dark roast coffee. This a complex, balanced and full-flavored coffee. The Black Tiger doesn't seem to be as roast-forward in flavor as the typical dark roast and that allows more subtle complex flavors shine through.
