The baker's chocolate really comes through on the first sip, and that burnt caramel lingers nicely into the finish. The clove gives it just enough kick to keep things interesting without overpowering the roast.

I was a bit skeptical about the clove note, but it blends perfectly with the baker's chocolate. This is the smoothest dark roast I've had in months, and it makes a fantastic morning cup without any bitterness.

That hint of clove really sets this apart from other dark roasts I've tried; it adds a warm, spicy kick without overpowering the rich chocolate notes. I've been brewing it in my French press every morning this week and the flavor stays smooth even as it cools.
