I found this pod to be over-roasted, and I prefer dark roasts. With longer roasting the coffee loses it's true flavors, and I think this is what happened to this one.

Great pod, but not perfect...
Weight is as advertised according to my digital gram scale: 9.5grams. Fit fine in the single cup holder for my Senseo. I hit the 2 cup button since I'm not a fan of super-strong coffee and found the aroma to be delightful. Took a small sip of the gunsmoke black and noticed a very full-bodied flavor with noticeable smoke. The smoke I pick up isn't "woody", but more like the smoke you pick up when walking by a coffee roaster in process. I like my coffee with a shot of cream and just a bit of sugar. After doctoring it up, I was really impressed. Good complexity, with an upfront bite that gets your attention. Finish is smooth.
I would give this a 4.5 star if possible, because of its uniqueness. I could see myself getting tired of the smoke/heaviness. I will likely rotate this blend with other "tamer" pods out there. I'll buy it again.

Holy gunsmoke! A very dark roast with a pronounced smoky aftertaste. Not a nice smoky flavor, more like a charred aftertaste.

Yippie-ki-yay! Smokey and smooth, this dark roast begs to be consumed plain black for an intense and unusual cup of coffee

Dark complex, very slightly bitter. Smokey flavor is a nice touch and adds that extra little bit that pushes it up from an average dark. Very smooth balanced blend, good both dark and sweetened. Best dark of the batch. I give it a 7.0 out of 10.

A good dark coffee, not for the timid. There is a pronounced smoke flavor to this coffee. Very good when combined with Dark Guatamalan.

I don't really care for flavored coffee, but this one was sophisticated and quite good. Easily the best flavored coffee I've had.

I really didn’t care for this cup. The flavor had almost a chemical tang to it, and it just didn’t taste like gingerbread. It was like they were trying to hit gingerbread flavor and just missed. I’ve said before I’m not much of a flavored guy, but even if I were this would have gotten a low rating just because the flavor was so strange and off somehow. Compared to the other Fratello flavors, this one doesn’t even rate. I tried it black, with sugar, with cream and nothing helped. I think this got the lowest score in the sample pack with a 1.5 out of 10.
