Oh Muddy River

I picked up some of the Delta Mud blend from Alterra the other day at Metcalfe's Market (awesome, awesome grocery store in Madison).

The description on the Alterra website is about a coffee that is "not for the timid or faint of heart..." and "an extremely rich, deep cup of coffee".

I wouldn't say this is not for the timid. I didn't find it to be all that full bodied, but it did have a nice depth and intensity to it, without being a full french roast type blend. The name initially scared me off, but I'm hooked on the Delta Mud.

Luna Stout

Luna coffee roasters is a small roaster based in De Pere, WI. For whatever reason, their website was down today or otherwise I'd give you the linke (it's Lunacafe.com). You'll see their coffees all over Door County.

I tried the Luna Stout. This roast is more famously known for being incorporated into Hinterland Brewery's Luna Stout Beer (beer mixed with coffee), which is quite a tasty concoction.

That being said, Luna Stout is a dark, dense taste without being overly acidic or earthy. Surprisingly, it had little aftertaste.
