Boca Java Banana Foster Float

The last coffee I have from Boca Java, at least until the end of May is the Banana Foster Float.    It sounds like a weird flavor but it is actually quite good.  This is what the company says:

Inspired by the international favorite and original New Orleans dessert, this is a triple-treat pleasure! Bananas Foster Float mixes banana, cinnamon, brandy and brown sugar into a base that’s full-bodied and complex. It offers an outrageously delicious taste sensation.

The flavor is somewhat subtle, lingering in the aftertaste rather than identifying itself in the fore-taste.  This was somewhat disconcerting to me…I am not sure why.  There was the sip of a medium to light roast coffee, bright and with moderate acidity and then after the swallow the banana flavors wafted back around my mouth reminding me that the coffee had been flavored.  It was a unique experience.

I have had coffees that have more intense flavor, but none that had the subtlety of this coffee.  I am not saying that I liked it better or worse than other brands I have had…just that it was unique in the way the flavor presented itself.

I did not taste brandy, brown sugar, nor cinnamon.  I have rather a sensitive sense of taste, I am generally able to recreate a recipe after having eaten it one time, but this coffee did not bring any of those flavors to mind.  I would drink this again, but I don’t know that I would buy it again.

The coffee I liked best from Boca Java was the first one I reviewed, South Beach Rhythm.  The two flavored coffees I tried came next, with the Tropical Kiss coming slightly ahead of the Banana Foster Float.  The Boca Villa was last on my list, and my least recommended.  I have ordered 4 more coffees from Boca Java, and will be reviewing these in about a month.
