Some customers have gone as far as to say Kirkland's French Roast tasted burnt or "extremely roasty," which is really just another fancier way of saying it.
Oftentimes, it's an indication of one of two things: that the beans have been over roasted, or that they've been sitting on the shelf a very long time.
The coffee from these beans was about as bland as it comes, and the only taste descriptor that could come to mind was bitter.
There is one Kirkland bag in particular, however, that our taste testers were underwhelmed with. In Tasting Table's ranking of five Kirkland Signature whole bean coffees, they found the Kirkland Signature French Roast to be the most disappointing of the bunch.
