Though Death Wish Coffee is well known for its rich caffeine content, the roast and bean qualities are rarely noted. Highlights of the blend are an earthy, smoky body with a pleasant acidity, and notes of walnut and (surprisingly) peppermint. The roast held an aroma of dark chocolate that preceded a crisp acidity on the tongue. Our main issues with the coffee were the aftertaste and mouth-feel. The Odinforce Blend presents an fermented-like bitterness that lingers too long after consumption, making it less than satisfying. 

On a more positive note, the art and design of the packaging was dynamic and unique, depicting the Norse god Odin within a classic gold edifice. This blend is perfect for the sleep-deprived, dark-roast-lover with a taste for aged spirits.
