I've been struggling to find a decaf that is anywhere near as enjoyable as the caffeinated coffees I've been brewing since I got my machine near the beginning of the year. This is probably at least in part due to my palate...I very much do not enjoy darker roasts coffees and would prefer to drink just about anything else than generic tasting, "bold" coffee in any format.

But since I've been experimenting with lots of different roasters' offerings, I figured I'd share my findings in the hopes that others will share theirs. So here's the list:

Levercraft Colombia Decaf Huila: One of the first that I tried and also one of the best. It's got some fairly standard tasting notes of "brownie, chocolate, citrus" and I was able to get these notes with a ~2:1 in ~35s (19g in 36g out, 10s preinfusion). At the time I was drinking it, I didn't fully appreciate that it tasted mostly like a pretty decent lightish-medium caffeinated with very detectable sweetness and pleasant acidity.

Kuma Costa Rica El Poeta Decaf: I never found a sweet spot with this coffee. Tried it at the 4, 7, 10, and 14 day marks. In the 10-14 day range, I did get a hint of citrus and a slightly sweet finish with a long brew ristretto (19g in 25g out, 55s w/ 15s preinfusion), but with plenty of other flavors I did not care for...and none of it stood up to milk, where it turned into a very generic coffee taste.

Camber Coffee's Goodnight Moon Decaf blend: Got this one from a decaf sampler pack from crema.co. The first 4 oz sampler I got was easily my favorite of all the decafs I have tried. The tasting notes were pear, graham cracker, and milk chocolate. The beans were visibly light roasted. The finer I ground my coffee, the stronger the flavors (I got apple more than pear, but splitting hairs) were. It shone in milk. Since, I have ordered 2 separate 1lb bags and was a bit disappointed to find the tasting notes had changed (berries, milk chocolate, citrus) and the beans were visibly darker roast. The graham cracker flavor is still present, but the pear has been replaced by a more rich, roasty flavor. Still one of the better decafs I've tried, but not nearly as noteworthy as my first go with it.

Onyx Decaf Colombia Huila: This coffee had some intriguing tasting notes, unfortunately I don't recall them exactly, but I remember being excited by floral and fruity promises. Sadly, it delivered an unmemorable experience, much roastier tasting than I had hoped. There was nothing wrong with it and it did have a caramel finish, but it wasn't for me. To be fair to it, it was the first decaf I tried with my new setup and I may not have done it justice.

Figure 8 Colombia Valle Del Cauca Decaf: Another Austin roaster that regularly produces coffee that I love both in the cafe and on my home machine (their Ethiopian Dari Hambela is like drinking a raspberry). My experience with this particular bean was confounding. I bought it here just after Uri came through and shut everyone down for a week. It had been roasted the same day. Two days later, I opened the bag to find somewhat greasy looking beans and a funky smell. I waited another day before giving it a shot and received a jammed grinder and some truly sour coffee for my efforts. I let it rest for another few days before giving it another shot. This time I was rewarded with a rich chocolate graham cracker, and from days ~7-11 that mostly remained true. After the 11th day, I tried it several times, getting very thin looking extraction and unpleasant bitterness, so the coffee went in the trash.

Cafe Medici Decaf Blend: Again another Austin roaster, though not one I frequent. The bag said medium roast, the beans said dark-dark-dark roast, the taste said dark-dark-dark-dark roast. I gave them to my parents who are more Italian style espresso drinkers.

Nossa Familia Brazil SWP Decaf: Another one that was immediately detectable as too dark for my tastes. I got more chocolate/caramel sweetness out of this one, but still not something I enjoyed drinking. Definitely closer to medium than the Medici, but still too bold for me.

Upper Left Decaf Blend: I only got a sampler of this one, and I really struggled with it. It came out super thin and while I got a hint of graham cracker and sweet fruit, I mostly got punched in the face with bitterness. Unfortunately I didn't have enough beans to fix whatever I did wrong here and get a valid impression.

Still on my list: Four Barrel decaf offering. Old Soul Colombia Decaf Aponte (honey process). Peixoto Sugarcane Decaf. Onyx Colombia Aponte Village Decaf. Completely open to suggestions!

Thanks for bringing this up walr00s!

I'm on a bit of a decaf hunt too and similarly generally prefer lighter coffees (I rarely drink anything medium anymore, mostly light to very light) so decaf is always a bit of an outlier and it's hard to find something I like.

I have some Levercraft Decaf incoming too so was happy to read your notes on it!

A couple of others I've had recently:
Brandywine DECAF - ETHIOPIA - YIRGACHEFFE - SWISS WATER DECAF - NATURAL
The tasting notes really are bang on. This is orange marmalade on a pile of yeasty bread. It's evocative of croissant like they say, but it's quite strongly yeasty to me so beware if you're not sure on that front.

Luna EA Decaf - Pink & Yellow Bourbon from Huila and Magdalena, Colombia
This is really pretty good! It's quite bright and I get tropical fruit and floral notes from it. It's still not as good as good caffeinated coffees with those notes, but it's very enjoyable. However it's currently out of stock, and who knows if it'll be different if/when it comes back.

Counter Culture Slow Motion
Not medium or light at all, this is pretty dark and I don't like it as espresso. In milk however, I enjoy it as a chocolate milkshake and my wife loves it. It's not our usual style but it punches through milk in a pleasant way that most of the lighter decafs don't.

Savorista Kenyan Sunset Decaf
This one was a few months ago and also is no longer in stock but I really disliked it. I was excited since Savorista focuses on decaf and half-caf but I thought it was awful. Bitter with no balancing notes no matter what I did with it (short/long ratio, high/low temps). Thin, and bitter.
