Overview
Kicking Horse's Kick Ass blend is a dark roast sold as whole beans in a large can. The brand describes it as the spirit of the company and a bold start to the day. The beans are certified organic, Fairtrade and kosher.
A dark roast gives a heavier, smokier cup than a medium roast, and the large can covers a heavy coffee household. The listing names Indonesia as the origin, with a moderately sweet profile. It does not say which brewer the roast suits best.
Who it's for
A heavy daily drinker who wants a strong roast and a certified organic bag will use the whole can before the listed shelf life ends. Anyone who wants a lighter cup or ground coffee should skip it.
Pros and cons
- Dark roast for a bold cup
- Organic, Fairtrade and kosher
- Indonesia origin listed
- Shelf life stated
- Needs a grinder
- Roast date not listed
- Dark roast may taste smoky
Performance notes
Longer roasting develops deeper, smokier flavors and lowers the bright acidity of lighter roasts. Whole beans hold their aroma until ground, so grinding just before brewing gives the strongest cup. The stated shelf life is the window to use the can in, so smaller households should watch it.
