We do try a lot of different coffees, and this one has turned out to be an excellent one. It is now a regular purchase. RS was first brought to our attention by Country Living Magazine. Keep up the great work!

Not to my tast
C Adams
Love the concept of a local independent passionate roaster, however unfortunately I found this to be a bit oily in flavour and consistency, it blocked my grinder.

Still buying our favourite coffee bean.
Colin Johnstone
Title says it all. Still no plan B should the worst happen unless travel to Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting is a heck of a lot easier!

Best coffee I've had to date.
Alistair Johnson
I have been buying the whole bean bags for a few years now and although I like to try other roasts, Roaring Stag is what I go back to every time. I like strong, smooth flavour and find the Dark Lochnagar hits the mark. I find it produces its best flavour with a semi-course grind and is ideal when made in my Salter coffee maker. To my mind, this is worth every penny.

Our Favourite!
Alicia Hubbard
Great boutique coffee that really tastes hand crafted. Glad I've managed a way to get this via mail as we don't live near any retailers. Thanks very much!

Full bodied and satisfying
Alistair Johnson
I love this coffee. I'm fond of a strong coffee while I work and this one hits the mark. It has a full bodied flavour but doesn't carry over to much bitterness which you might think it would from the aroma after grinding the beans. It also holds this flavour for quite some time after grinding, which allows it to be pre-ground and stored in an air tight container for the next couple of weeks.

Happiness is still Dark Lochnagar Roast
Mr Colin Johnstone
Title says it all. I've pretty much given up ordering coffee when out shopping/travelling, especially when I see the coffee beans used. Here's hoping Roaring Stag are here for years to come.

Seriously good coffee!
Paul Williams
We've tried a fair few coffees in our search for the perfect taste of a good strong coffee to wake you up with your first coffee in the morning, or give you a lift mid-morning at the end of a long week. Dark Lochnagar is the best falvoured strong coffee we've found so far. Not only can you make a strong flavour packed coffee to wake you up, or pick you up, but it's also oh so good to enjoy whenever you want that flavour packed cup of coffee. It has become our default roast to go in our bean to cup machine.

Dark Lochnagar
Luke Spiel
My second purchase of this label since the evolution from the previous incarnation. I asked what was recommended to replace my previous choice and this was the suggestion. And as it's my second order, their suggestion was spot on. Same flavour and quality I'd come to expect over a few years. Long may it continue.

Dark Lochnagar
William Faulds
Amazing coffee, intense and robust flavour. Next time I order I will request a box for delivery, as when my bag was removed from the packaging, the bag was split down the side. Cue comedy moment of standing in the kitchen with beans all over the floor. Rescued most and so worth it. Not a criticism re the packaging, I was just unfortunate. Thanks guys.

I enjoy this one as an espresso, savouring the dark richness of it. An ideal accompaniment to a good newspaper

As I couldn t travel out to Ballater shop from Aberdeen before Xmas I used online shop. Will definitely use this very efficient local service again & my order arrived just in time for Christmas which I didn t expect with the postal strikes so hats off to Roaring Stag coffee for sending out as soon as order placed! Buying good quality coffee locally from Stag - Highly recommended!!

Happiness is Dark Lochnagar Roast
Mr Colin Johnstone
May 2019 we visited the shop in Ballater in search of coffee to replace an Illy brand that had been discontinued. This was not our first attempt to find a supplier of a suitable replacement but our first encounter that prompted us to buy from Roaring Stag was Lochnagar Roast. This continued for a number of months until I noticed Dark Lochnagar Roast on the website. Bought a pack of ground beans, bought some more then decided I should bring the Gaggia coffee grinder out of retirement to see how the coffee varies with different grinds. Long story short, we have been buying whole beans for umpteen months and will not entertain an alternative. Long may the Dark Lochnagar Roast continue.

For those who like a dark roast
Hugh Leighton
A dark roast which I suspect goes to or almost to 2nd crack. i drink it as a cappucino, and a sprinkle of chocolate on top really compliments the coffee. Others have had it as Americano liked it too
