Is the Kick Ass dark a good replacement my dark French Roast coffee, or is Kick Ass dark very strong and more like espresso?

Not espresso,but very full bodied good tasting coffee. Leaves a pleasing. Smooth after taste.

i'm a die-hard french roast coffee drinker, & found the kick ass dark beans to be a suitable replacement for fr. roast beans. HOWEVER, be aware, as is true with many brands, the quality of the roast varies. usually, "ka" has been very good-excellent, but the last time i purchased it, the roast (or something) was off & the flavor was bland-sickening. i was only able to salvage those beans by mixing them with the remnants of other brands i had on hand.

It's a very dark brown/cherry. Not an Espresso black/brown if that's what you're looking for.

If you are not a fan of bitter coffee stay away from French roast. The Fog Chaser is not overly strong and I much prefer it to French roast.

this is a very dark french roast. A couple of tablespoons of this ground coffee is enough for an entire pot!!

I haven't tried Rev... I like a dark, robust roast that tastes like COFFEE...not what I call "tea-water" tasteless coffee blends. However, I don't like the bitterness that most dark-roasted "name-brand" coffees have. Even though Jet Fuel is strong-bodied, it doesn't have that bitter after-taste that I find offensive. I'm not a big fan of bitter espresso, and Jet Fuel seems to satisfy my need for a cup of coffee that tastes like coffee and that gives me my needed dose of caffeine!

It is a smoother flavor than Fog Chaser or French Roast. I would consider more of a medium roast. I think it is very good.

The matter of caffeine content by roast isn't as simple as darker coffees having less caffeine, depending on how you brew, grind, and measure, either can be said to have more but the difference is so negligible that it's not really a factor worth much note. The choice of dark roast for this coffee was probably a decision made for taste, since this coffee is almost certainly artificially enhanced the dark roast makes for a stronger coffee taste to mask any additions to the grounds.

It's a super dark roast. Darker than you would ever find in a store or cafe.

I have not yet tried the Fogchaser. It's next on my list. I can certainly tell you that the French Roast is very robust and full of flavor.

I would say that the Rainforest Blend is more of a medium blend / flavor - If you are looking for a lighter blend, I would choose their Breakfast Blend - or want a little strong, I lLOVE their Espresso Roast. Cheers!

I love the medium, Patti. It's called Three Sisters and is a delicious blend. If you like very strong coffee, go with the dark. Hope you like it! BH

I'm shopping for a single-serve cofee maker, and am looking at the Tassimo just because Starbucks came out with T-Discs. I tried the regular ground Cafe Verona from Starbucks, and it is my favorite. It's dark roast but not as strong as Italian-roast espresso--which is normally my gold standard, but I liked the Verona better for straight coffee.

Hi - I don't know if this particular variety of Kicking Horse is any higher in caffeine than its other versions, but I think the horsepower reference is because it is one of their darker roasts and is that much more flavorful/strongly flavored.

I've only had the Fog Chaser and French Roast. I'm no connoisseur, but the Fog Chaser is more original and has a nice flavor. Not too bold and smooth (not bitter or too acidic). If you like other French Roast blends, you'd like theirs as well.
