This was a great bag of coffee. Perc's website has big creamsicle, tootsie roll, and Wendy's Frosty vibes as the flavor descriptors, and honestly I got none of that. Instead, I got big acidic fruit loops that was present in both aroma and in the cup. It's not a subtle flavor. A big reason that I like brewing coffee is the morning ritual, and having a great smelling coffee while standing there and pouring the water makes it all that much better.
Though, while I loved this coffee, my wife hated it. So, like everything good in life, ymmv.
