From Dennis offer pack, I finished his Yirg a few days ago
and his Shire blend yesterday. My personal favourite bean is now Yirg.
Ive been spoiled now it seems, by Dennis beans/roasts however,. because this morning I broke into a roast (5 days PR),..of my previous favourite bean, Mexico Veracruz, that was pulled right at the start of SC and looks like CS10. I was so disappointed by comparison to what Ive been thoroughly enjoying in the cup over the last 4 days. I was unable to detect any beautiful subtle nutty like flavours that were knock em out present in Dennis roasts. I enjoyed my Mexico Veracruz roasts before (picking up a fruity flavour usually) and even though this time I pulled them earlier I thought, all I can detect is an overwhelming charred taste.
Thanks Dennis!! >

. I have not experienced this smell from my roasts before. In the cup... 24hrs post roast and its surprisingly drinkable, tasting a very faint wet cardboard in there(which I expected so early post roast),.. but could still easily detect subtle nice flavours so I think once its rested more,. it looks like it could be very nice in the cup.
