Dark Ness Monster

Smokey, Carmelized sugar, bodied, and smooth.

This coffee is the darkest coffee of the lineup and while it's a dark roast my intention with this coffee is for it to be an approachable one. The ability to do that is in no small part due to the enormous amount of work our friends at Fincas Miersch do in Nicaragua. In early Feburary 2017 I traveled down and selected this coffee. My long hope for this coffee has been it would be completely consistent from year to year so when I approached the family with my goals they laid out 20 samples to choose from. The beauty of all this means we can replicate exactly the hillsides the previous years harvest were pulled from down to the same days. For you - it's consistent tastes year after year after year. For the M's, it's a guaranteed buy from me and the value of that is hard to get across in just one paragraph so I won't. For me, well my job is easy. 

This coffee works excellent across all brewing methods including Espresso applications, Drip, Pour Overs and Cold Brew. 

 Also shoutout to my friend Kenny with the American analog set for coming up with the name.

Produced by Fincas Miersch in Nicaragua, Dark Ness Monster is a distinct offering from Royal Mile Coffee. This selection leans into a profile defined by deep, intense sweetness and roast-forward characteristics, specifically highlighting notes of smokey, caramelized sugar. While many specialty coffees focus on bright acidity or delicate floral aromatics, darker roasts often emphasize the transformative power of the Maillard reaction, which can shift a bean’s profile toward richer, more savory, and toasted dimensions.

When evaluating coffees with such pronounced roast-driven qualities, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the specific nuances within the sugar-browning category. By focusing on the interplay between the inherent qualities of the Nicaraguan terroir and the roaster’s specific approach, this coffee provides a robust experience for those who prefer a heavier, more resonant cup. It stands as a testament to the versatility of Fincas Miersch’s production when paired with a deliberate, dark-roast philosophy.
