Dark Bean (Coffee Espresso) Flavor-FA

Seeing a lot of 5 star reviews on here and I'm not really sure how anyone could use this and think it's worthy of 5 stars. Even at small doses it's burnt popcorn flavored mess. Most coffee flavors are. Take a hard pass on this one and just get Nature's Flavors "kona creme." It's delicious and the only coffee flavor that doesn't give off that terrible popcorn flavor.

This has a nice coffee flavor, and espresso to true to it's name. It is one of my favorite coffee flavors thus far. That being said, this can easily overpower a recipe. I find that max usage of .25% gets the job done with still being able to taste other flavors. I highly recommend this flavor. I would give it 5 stars, but it's ability to take over at such a low percentage is why I only give it 4.

This is one of the few that is boldly coffee espresso without the typical stale, bitter or burned flavor that 90% of others present. It's not a single flavor wonder but enhances everything from tobaccos, Cocoa, deserts and the like. Use minimumly in three teams of 1.5 to .5%. One of my favorite recipes is 1% Dark Bean, 7% TFA Tiramisu and 2-3% TFA Vanilla Swirl. Caramel is optional. It needs a long steep to develop at 4 weeks for balanced complexity. Make 60ml at the least its that good!

First coffee I've tried and it is so good. Bull City is the best.

My first recipe with this flavoring had too much of it, so I backed it down a good amount. My test batch of 10mL called for 1.6% of this flavor with 13.2% chocolate, 60/40 PG/VG. Nailed it. It's super potent, and tastes just like espresso.

The smell is soooooo nice! Now the real problem is the taste, maybe it's me but I've mixed a few batches and each time I still have a burnt popcorn taste..

Wow I can't believe all the 5 stars on this one. Yes it is very strong and it has a bad after taste. Even at 0.50% It can be used with other flavors but even at 0.50% it will over power strong flavors. I mixed this at 3% for testing and dropped the next test to 0.5%. I mixed 4% cap brownie v2 0.50% dark bean and 1% ethyl maltol and it overpowered the brownie which is hard to imagine if you have tried the brownie it is quite noticeable. But this recipe still tasted ok. No where close to spot on coffee flavor IMO. Keep rockin Bull City!

I'm a big coffee lover ... big enough that I roast my own beans. I was not disappointed in the slightest with this flavor. My own regret was not buying a bigger bottle.

This Dark Bean Coffee Espresso is a very rich, bold, full flavor that mixes well into the Carmel Macchiato recipe I've been enjoying for about six months now. If you're a coffeholic I suggest getting at least the 4oz size as it fits into about any coffee recipes you may have. It's a 5 star flavor for me.
