Green Mountain Dark Magic Decaf Coffee K-Cup Pods I can recommend one of Vermont-based Green Mountain’s K-cup dark roast coffee varieties: Dark Magic Decaf K-Cups. It may not have the same bold presence of other dark roasts from this brand, but it offers an unexpected flavor profile with both sweet and savory elements in balance. Brown sugar and subtle notes of sweet wood smoke stand out on the nose, along with unexpected components like maple and brownie. On the palate, this roast features dark fruit flavors such as raspberry and blackberry jam combined with rich and chocolatey notes, a moderate amount of ash, and an effective but not overwhelming astringency that stops short of becoming overwhelming astringency. I would even go as far to say this was one of the most well-balanced dark roasts from this tasting!
