A surprise on my local Target shelf, Starbucks Tripleshot debuts a new variety dubbed Dark Roast. The can design is identical to others in this more potent sub-line, and it continues to communicate well across its potency and coffee trademarks.
The flavor is not nearly as robust as the can claims, an experience far too lardaceous and saccharine to be properly labeled "dark roast." There is no teasing bitterness to any gulp, nothing that insinuates anything more than your usual outing from the company, and that is a shame. What I can say in its favor is the actual taste of coffee, which breaks through the dismal clouds of the dairy and sweetness, but it is not enough to have imbibes resembling anything remotely like your fresh mugful of joe in the morning. Three grams of fat, half of it saturated, and twelve grams of added sugar (twenty nine total), commercializes the experience into exactly what we have come to expect from a canned coffee, only this time Starbucks gave us false hopes with its "dark roast" pretenses.
Each can contains a cool 225 milligrams of caffeine, and it is here that we find the potable's strongest feature with a kick lasting a solid three and a half hours. Other ingredients include: B vitamins, ginseng, inositol, and guarana. To end, Starbucks Tripleshot Dark Roast arrives and dies with little fanfare.
