As we close out October and head into the final ‘Ber months of the year, we had to give our honest opinion of the last of Bones’ Fall Favorites: Blackberry Cobbler. And with a name like that (and a reputation for uncanny flavors) we are expecting quite a delicacy in our morning brew.
We brewed Blackberry Cobbler in the French press to our usual specs: 50g grounds, 32oz of 200-202℉ water, steep for 3-5 minutes.
The bloom is very active and I immediately smell the warming of blackberries. There is a hint of tartness and that familiar bready, Bones-classic, aroma. From the bag, this coffee is very aromatic and led me to fear I was in for an acidic, overly fruity coffee. But once fully brewed, it has a tart and sweet aroma that is less acidic than other coffees with prominent berry flavors.
Blackberry Cobbler is a fitting name, as it has a lighter body, bold blackberry that tingles the palate, and a balance of earthy berry notes and rustic coffee flavors. The coffee really does bring out both the sweet and earthy flavors of blackberries, which is what I love about them! Although this has a light body, it is not too thin (some lighter coffees have a red tint instead of black and taste watered down), so I am pleased.
If you enjoy your coffee with a side of dessert, skip the dessert and drink Blackberry Cobbler from Bones Coffee instead. This is a heart-warming, fall delicacy that will please sweet tooth and bold morning brewers alike.
Cheers,
Mrs. Brew
