Impact
‘Monggo’ is Javanese for ‘please’ & this, a crowd-monggoer, just sugars the vittles (or 'victuals' according to Spelling Bee winners) for that agile & cunning Rikki-Tikki-Tavi into a thick-coated chocolate-mongoose on the loose, tracking down snaking cashews of venomous ginger bite.

Appearance 4.7 / 5
| Color: | medium brown |
| Surface: | first-rate; nut studs perforate the back |
| Temper: | good gloss |
| Snap: | on cue for a 58% w/ nuts: soft-spoken crunch |
Aroma 6.9 / 10
signature Java smoked-leather -> cloaks & obscures The VOG (vanilla-oak giant) -> squirts out pepsi fizz (sassafras)
Mouthfeel 11.2 / 15
| Texture: | fraggle rock |
| Melt: | snaggletooth |
Flavor 33.6 / 50
vanilla -> white cane -> cocoa & cashews fighting for position vs. sugar ‘n spice... finally established when ginger shows for chocolate-dipped pineapple-like sunspot -> stripped cocoa tannins smoothed by cashew cream w/ residual ginger warmth -> turfs it on chocolate cake
Quality 13.4 / 20
Every now & then a C-spotter™ deep in the field sends out a contact to try some stuff that’s off-the-grid, below-the-radar, non-commercial, or in limited distribution.
For example, the roadside stand of chocolate in Paria, Venezuela.
This comes from a start-up in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Generally non-descript, perhaps mildly Dutched, & plenty of canceling effects to neutralize manifold contents, all bonded in abundant sugar that grinds teeth down to the gum line – the essential hallmarks of traditional Belgian chocolate to suit its Belgian-born maker, Thierry Detourney.
In other words, a crowd-monggoer (roughly translated: crowd-pleaser)
ING: cocoa mass, cacáo butter, lecithin, sugar, vanilla, cashew, ginger
