Dark Roast Sampler

If you enjoy traditional roast forward coffee profiles, this sampler is for you.

Our approach to dark roasts has as much to do with the character of each coffee we select as it does about their ultimate roast treatment. We craft each coffee to celebrate classic roast styles featuring an array of chocolate flavors complimented by a remarkably smooth finish.

Although dark roast coffees are quite common, the experiences of our single-origin dark roasts offer are anything but common.

Our Dark Roast Sampler features three of our single-origin dark roast coffees; one 12oz. bag of our San Diego, one 12oz. bag of our Gato Negro, and one 12oz. bag of our Ceremony.

The Dark Roast Sampler from Barrington Coffee Roasting Company offers a focused exploration of deep, developed flavor profiles. By pushing the roast profile further, roasters aim to emphasize the inherent sugars and structural components of the bean, often resulting in a pronounced chocolate character. While lighter roasts frequently highlight acidity and delicate aromatics, darker roasts are typically sought after for their heavy body, reduced acidity, and comforting, dessert-like sweetness.

When evaluating these profiles, enthusiasts often find that the roasting process transforms the raw material into a rich, resonant cup. To better understand how these specific chocolate notes fit into the broader spectrum of coffee characteristics, it is helpful to consult a flavor wheel. This tool provides a structured way to identify and categorize the complex sensations experienced during the brewing and tasting process, helping drinkers articulate the nuances found within this particular selection.
