Death Wish Coffee Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend

Here's a coffee that's been on my to-review list for some time, Death Wish Coffee's Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend.

Although this sample came pre-ground, I used the pour-over brewing method with .6 oz. of coffee to 10 oz. of water, 30 seconds off the boil.

Once the bag is opened the ground coffee has a deep, fragrant aroma of earth and cocoa. As hot water is poured over the grounds and it begins to bloom, the aroma changes to mix of sweet stone fruit and pecans; these same aromas radiate from the cup once brewing is complete.

Even though this blend was created for the hard hitting guitarist, Zak Wylde, it's a hearty brew fit for Odin himself. The flavors are bold, yet balanced, with a smooth, sweet, syrupy mouthfeel.

Tasting the Death Wish Coffee Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend, there were complex flavors of charcoal, pecans, caramel, cocoa, stone fruit and toast. Hot, the coffee starts in the medium body range and finishes full bodied as it cool, with a pleasant chocolate aftertaste. This sample also created a clean cup.

Overall this Death Wish Coffee produced a great cup with bold, rich and well balanced flavors. Check out DeathWishCoffee.com to see their entire line. I bet they have a roast for you.

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these Tryst e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic. You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
