Beyond Black - Black Rifle Coffee Company

Black Rifle Coffee Company’s Beyond Black will go beyond your expectations for a dark roast. I have tried a lot of BRCC’s coffee and this one is my favorite and my “go-to” coffee. 

Beyond Black is a dark roast (rich flavor, low acidity) that mixes earthy flavors with hints of dark chocolate. The chocolate stood out more to me as a dry aftertaste instead of a creamy addition to the flavor.

Initially, we noted a distinct spice smell. I smelled more of a nutty spice, and Mr. Brew noted sweeter hints of nutmeg. The spices add to the aroma of the coffee and are subtle without being overpowering. 

BlackRifleCoffee.com noted that the Beyond Black has a smoky finish. Although I didn’t pick up on the “smoky” aspect (Mr. Brew did), I did pick up on the strong earthy notes. To me, it feels like a backwoods campfire coffee in my cup - strong and rugged.

This bag came pre-ground. The grind size was perfect for French press, drip coffee, or a Chemex brew. It was coarse enough to fit these different brew styles and emit wonderful flavors. If you wanted to use this coffee for an espresso, which would be delicious, I would recommend getting the whole bean and grinding it to a finer setting. 

Time and again I turn to Beyond Black for my morning coffee needs and I will continue to brew it on a regular basis.

Cheers,

Mrs. Brew
