Impact
Deceptively deep, well-constructed playground bringing thunder & showing the magic, featuring an inside-out move for a milk choc where caramel hangs back before the full reveal next-to-last.

Quality 18 / 20
Catching the up cycle of a wildly oscillating line. Coppeneur’s hot roast fetish plays well with Nacional’s need for heat while milk smoothes the edges. Tough but supple stuff.
