Bones Coffee Company Highland Grog Flavored Whole Coffee Beans Butterscotch Caramel & Rum Flavor | 12 oz Medium Roast Low Acid Coffee Arabica Beans | Flavored Coffee Gifts & Beverages (Whole Bean)

Great choose and testy

I was super surprised with these beans from Bones Coffee. I had them on a coffee wish list when I upgraded from a K-Cup system to a Breville Espresso maker at Christmas time. These were gifted to me and they were my favorite beans for espresso. I have since tried about a half dozen different Bones bean flavors, but the Highland Grog is still my personal fave. I find that they compare positively to other beans I have tried which include: local brewer espresso beans, Lavazza Super Crema, and from Costo - Manatee Gourmet Caribbean Delight. If I were to rank them: 1a: Local Espresso brewer 1b: Bones Coffee Highland Grog 2: Lavazza Super Crema 4: Manatee Carib Delight 5: Lavazza Crema Aroma I skipped 3 to point out there is a difference in perceived level between my upper tier and mid tier beans. I haven't had what I would consider bad beans, but there is definitely a difference. I would always buy Lavazza Super Crema over their Crema Aroma option. Carib Delight is fine, but I think Bones is better. I have to grind Carib Delight at a 5 to dial in, whereas most of my other beans are dialed in between a Breville grind setting of 10-14 (note I adjusted my burrs upon initial setup to enable finer grinding so my settings may differ from yours). I converted to a single dose system and I really appreciate the flavor variety that Bones provides. I got some more Bones flavors for Father's Day so I'm loaded up on Bones flavors. I rotate between 4 different beans and my current bean selection includes: - Bones Highland Grog - Bones Dark Side - Bones Great White - Manatee Carib Delight (It's a big bag of beans, good value but takes a while to work through it) I would recommend trying Bones beans; I think you may be pleasantly surprised like I was (Oh and their bag naming / artwork is awesome!!)

Highland Grog is smooth, flavorful, and is my favorite Bones Coffee Co. coffee! If you’re used to a heavily roasted (burnt) coffee bean flavor, I doubt you will appreciate the smoothness of this medium roast. However, for those of you who don’t have to have your coffee with a “bite”, but love a truly good coffee, you should give this one a try. If you’re looking for the benefits of a premium bean that hasn’t had the healthy polyphenols burned out of it, this is your brand! They do have “dark roast” flavors, but you don’t want to go hotter than a medium roast if you want the health benefits. Anyway, this Highland Grog is a treat, anytime!!!

This is the second flavor coffee of Bones that I've tried and I really love it. I'm not a coffee drinker by habit. I started drinking a cup every morning about 4 months ago to try to offset drowsiness from my medications that I have to take that leave me dragging. To keep my interest I usually grind my own so it's as fresh as possible then freeze it in mason jars. I also combine it with stronger basic non-flavored brands (also whole bean ground then frozen) so I can change it up a bit. *I get bored easily when it comes to coffee*. The Highland Grog is a perfect accompaniment in my opinion, to the strong basics like Hills Brothers, or San Francisco Bay French Roast. I mix roughly 45% of the Bones HG with 55% of one or the other and a dash of salt to smooth it out (My dad the chef's method) and splash of homemade vanilla extract. It tastes so good to me better than the Sinn-a-bon which was good but not as good to me as the HG Grog. If you're looking for a caramel butterscotch flavored coffee then you'll want to give this a try!

I have been interested in Bones Coffee for quite a while so I decided to order a bag of Highland Grog and I have to say it has a very pleasant aroma of butterscotch even before opening the bag. I ordered whole bean which is what I prefer since I feel the flavor is more fresh than already ground. When I ground the coffee the aroma intensified and only got more potent as I brewed it. I will say the flavor is a little on the mild side but it is a good flavor none-the-less. There are some mild notes of butterscotch that come through as you drink it. It is definitely a coffee that I could drink black or with a little cream and sugar and I feel it would be fine either way. I will definitely be looking forward to trying more of their unique flavors soon!
