Coffee Review: Aduro Bean – Black and Tan Post Roast Blend
The Aduro Bean Black and Tan Post Roast Blend is an interesting batch of coffee beans. With dark, rich coffee beans mixed in with medium bodied light brown coffee beans, this unique mixture makes for a cool looking contrast before and after the grind process. Now that I have some time to jump into this post roast blend and enjoy a small bag, lets take a look at how it feels on the tongue.
Aduro Bean – Black and Tan Post Roast Blend Coffee
From AduroBean.com
Our first post-roast blend, Black & Tan is a mix of a dark roast single bean with a blend of a few medium roast beans. This coffee has a light nuttiness that’s complemented by a hearty boldness. Begins mellow and smooth but finishes with a sharper edge. Low acidity.
Review: Black and Tan Blend from Aduro Bean
Upon breaking open the bag and grinding the beans, you are hit with a rich, dark coffee blend smell right off the bat. The darker beans seem to take over the aroma of the mixed blend, and this is pretty much what I expected as stronger scents and tastes are going to dominate over lighter ones.
With the first sip of this freshly pressed cup of coffee, the darker roast aroma carries into the intake while the lighter roasted beans go almost unnoticed. I got a woodsy, outdoors feel with the tasting process with a nutty hint and a slight acidity on the back end. All things I would pretty much expect out of most dark blend coffees.
This Black and Tan blend is not on the “dark of the dark” scale of dark blended coffees, but it is a dark blend with a cool look to the mixture through the mixed bean types. You get a stronger after taste that also seems to run with darker blends but it is still clean and in mouth with a slight coating.
Overall, I enjoyed my time with the Black and Tan mix from Aduro Bean. I tend to lean toward rich, darker blended coffees, but if you are a medium to light roast coffee drinker, this will probably not be the mix for you as the darker beans do take over the overall experience. If you like darker coffee and want something different that looks unique, pick up a bag of Aduro Bean Black and Tan and give it a shot.

Yeah love it, I’m a lover of the darker roast too, do you have milk (or cream I think you guys call it) with yours?
Where are you on the whole burning of coffee? What I is it actually possible to burn the coffee when making it, because of the boiling water ?
I drink mine black…just me and the coffee.
When I taste coffee that “tastes burnt”, that is usually something that is a byproduct of the roasting process and not the water. While theoretically you could “burn coffee”, I don’t think it is an easy thing to do with conventional brewing methods. You would really have to flash burn it.
