As per Starbucks, "This sturdy Latin American blend is less complex than Espresso Roast and not as intensely smoky as French Roast. Nonetheless, it's a potent, bold cup of coffeeMore about this coffee:Italian Roast is the coffee flavor found in Frappuccino® blended beverages containing coffee."This morning Keith is having one of his mandatory "coffee tastings." He has to taste all the Starbucks coffees and document his observations and suggestions for pairings.
As per Keith: The very intense aroma is earthy yet slightly spicy and sweet. It also smells somewhat smokey. The coffee is not very acidic as it does not leave a clean feel when you swallow. It just feels like the coffee is still there in your mouth. It is a very heavy coffee in the taste, but the feel in your mouth is very light and very complex. It is a very sweet coffee and has an extremely subtle carmel taste to it. If paired with a vanilla caramel or a carmel chocolate bar, the carmelly taste is intensified as well as the sweetness. I can picture myself sitting on a veranda in Rome with a cup of this Roast as I watch the sun drop down behind the colliseum.
