Death Wish CoffeeValhalla Java Odinforce Blend - Whole Bean Dark Roast - Extra Kick of Caffeine - Arabica & Robusta Coffee Beans - 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)Fair Trade CertifiedFair Trade CertifiedFair Trade Certified

The Valhalla Java is the best coffee from Death Wish IMO. I've tried the Espresso roast and the Dark roast. The Dark roast was too acidic for me the espresso roast was ok. This one was the best of all three flavorwise, and acidic wise. It was gentle on my stomach too. All three of them were fantastic on caffeine boost.

Awesome coffee! Especially if you’re into dark beans. I’ve pressed this into shots, made French press coffee with it, regular pour over, cold brew, brewed it South Indian style, Turkish style, and it doesn’t disappoint in any way or in any type of brewing methods.

Smooth taste and good caffeine levels.

The Valhalla Java beans arrived today and, being a coffee lover, I immediately ground a few scoops and brewed a cup. My first reaction: I really like this coffee!A few notes:- I hand grind using a ceramic burr grinder- usually I grind only enough for 2 days at most to maximize freshness of the coffee- remaining ground coffee is stored in an airtight glass container- beans are stored in a sealed canister with a CO2 release valve- the coffee is brewed using a Keurig machine with Deli-bru reusable K-cups and filters, set on smallest cup size- I use only optimal water for coffee brewing *(see below)I like the Keurig brewer because it’s fast, easy to keep clean, and makes one cup at a time (I am the only coffee drinker in the house). I was using K-cups until earlier this year when I decided life is too short to drink bad coffee and set out to find a way to make a great cup using the Keurig machine. Thus the water* (again, see below), the burr grinder, canister, etc.Coffee purists will likely chime in to say if I want good coffee I should abandon the Keurig and use [insert favorite method here], but too bad— I’m not giving up the Keurig. I set out to find a way to make great coffee using this method and I’m sticking to it!Coffee I have tried (all whole bean) in order:1- Don Pablo Subtle Earth Organic Gourmet Dark Roast: I liked the price but the coffee was too mild in flavor. Even after experimenting with the grind I couldn’t make a strong enough flavor to enjoy. Those who prefer milder, a bit floral flavored coffee will probably like this. If you like coffee served at Starbucks (like Pike Place) this will be far too weak for you, as it was for me.2- Koffee Kult Dark Roast: Better but still too mild flavored for me. I can’t get it strong enough for my liking using my brewing method.3- Valhalla Java: Makes a really satisfying cup! I’m sold! That said, it’s pretty pricey at $1.33/oz. but I started out to find a way to enjoy great coffee using my method since life’s too short to drink crappy coffee, so I may have to just suck it up and shell out.Overall, I strongly recommend Valhalla Java. It’s the best by a long way of the coffee I’ve tried in my home brewing quest.I hope you enjoyed this review!* Using tap water is a common culprit when it comes to lousy coffee. It’s easy to make the optimal water for brewing coffee. You’ll need a gram scale and the following from the grocery store:- distilled water- epsom salt (try the pharmacy if the grocery doesn’t carry it)- baking sodaAdd .75 grams of epsom salt and .26 grams of baking soda to one gallon of distilled water.That’s it! You’ve made the ideal water for coffee!

Excellent coffee! Smells and tastes amazing. Very robust. Great value!

I love my dark roast coffee! I ordered this as a backup to a couple others that are my "go-to's", not realizing it when ordering that it was Death Wish (not generally a fan of DW)...but this Valhalla Java was very good! Thank you for a good dark coffee!

If there was a ten star option i would select it. This coffee is life changing. Two days ago i was a quiet, low self esteem nerd with a boring office job. As soon as i opened the bag my face had the weirdest tingling happening. So i ground up this amazing smelling magic bean and made 4 cups and boy let me tell you. I blacked out. When I came to I was wearing a flannel shirt and overalls. I had a full man beard. I’m talking duck dynasty status. Wondering what happened i called into work and they let me know that i had slapped my boss and called him a beta male and quit. I immediately panicked of course but then i found out i had a new job as a diesel mechanic. I went outside to get in my crappy Honda Accord only to find out it had actually transformed into a Dodge cummins that sounds like big foot and a jet plane having sex when i mash on the pedal and it pukes bald eagles out of the tail pipe. It’s a 5 speed and i never learned how to drive one until this coffee taught me. I apparently had also built a log cabin. I joined a heavy metal band as the guitarist. I don’t even own a guitar but i found the coolest BC warlock axe in my living room, held by none other than Zakk Wylde. He handed me the piece of art and together we played metal licks so amazing that we actually summoned a demon named dildoroth or something and then we beat him up and made a necklace out of his horns. It was probably the wildest experience of my life but it changed me. It was a good change. Now I’m covered in tattoos, i can probably bench press a house, and the biggest thing is I’m not a nerd. I went into a book store and immediately all of Hillary Clinton’s books caught on fire when i looked at them.I RECOMMEND THIS COFFEE TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO UNLOCK THEIR INNER BADASS. I now walk around with a camelback filled with this magic juice. Everyone buy it. Right now.The picture on the left is me two days ago and the picture on the right is the new changed me. Hail Odin

It was not for me. My favorite things in life are beer, coffee and women.I like them all the same way, cold and bitter. Ok, seriously, this coffee has a strange aroma and the taste was actually on the weak side. I prefer a darker roast but I took a chance on this and found out I should just stick to the darker roasts, I'm not saying it was bad, but if you like your coffee bold, get something else
