Please note, I am new to roasting so it could be my technique but this coffee exhibited fermented fruit smell and taste. Come to think of it, fruit cake would be the exact description I would use. I roasted it Full City (very dark, into the second crack, but the beans did not smoke or show oils). Bottom line, the fruitcake taste really showed through on espresso making the shots unpalatable and adding milk made it worse. However, in a French Press that fermented fruit flavor was almost pleasant still not particularly to my liking but I can see how someone else might like it.

This is the third Dominican coffee I have ordered from Coffee Bean Corral and so far this is my favorite. I roast my coffee light, looks kind of like a brown paper bag in color. Even roasted that lightly, it still has a really nice chocolaty flavor. I might even say it's slightly sweet like the sweetness you would find in a good rum. The other coffee I roast is an Ethiopian, which is more complex than any Dominican I have roasted. I like the Dominican coffee because it's a nice alternative to Ethiopian coffee. The Dominican is Chocolatey, a little sweet, and a nice, clean, coffee flavor (even roasted light).

With in my top 10 choices, roasted full city plus on the verge of second crack. Full body, not too floral, excellent everyday coffee great for blending.
