This remains my favorite Dark Roast since I sampled it a few years ago. The flavor is bold, clean and no after taste. I enjoy it hot, iced and as a cold brew. I am so confident in its quality and consistency I gift it to clients. If you like dark roast coffee, you will enjoy it. If you hesitate about trying Aether due to the lingering after-taste of dark roast in the past you will be pleased with the finish on this coffee - no lingering, bitter after-taste. Each sip ends so that the next sip is new and fresh. Stop by the Lombard Farmers' Market Tuesday afternoons during the summer and try it for yourself. AND, sample one of their micro-brews. Truly great coffee!
