Foundry Dark is the one roast on the board that gets a genuinely different treatment on the drum: a slower ramp through the Maillard stage, then a deliberate run into second crack instead of pulling it the moment first crack finishes.
That extra development is what turns a wet-hulled Sumatra’s earthy, herbaceous raw character into the cedar-and-molasses profile people ask for by name. It’s not a roast to publish a delicate tasting-notes card for — the roast itself is the point.
