Dark Ginger

Impact
To lift some bars requires muscular T-buds (‘T’ for Taste) doped on PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs). This one’s the resort course: very easy elastic resistance bands on a cushioned yoga mat. Exhale... ‘ahhhhh’.
Now repeat this mantra 100 times: 'fun spun from some sun'.

Appearance 4.1 / 5
| Color: | medium brown with white fruit blush |
| Surface: | mold side slightly scratched & dented; airside pocked with ginger |
| Temper: | frozen fudge shot |
| Snap: | creepy Scotch Tape™ adhesive |
Aroma 8.1 / 10
rich & thick with extra stick: more core cocoa than its unflavored parent... as those smoking sapodilla wood chips spiced by tobacco crystalize dried-ginger into a chocolate cauldron of stewed-fruit
Mouthfeel 11.7 / 15
| Texture: | dry choc / spongy ginger |
| Melt: | gummy |
Flavor 43.2 / 50
chocolate lead-in -> overtaken by ginger -> back to chocolate -> relaxes... drifting in & out like this... into a tropical spice isle with a late dry bite
Quality 15.8 / 20
Despite rather large ginger chunks, a well-measured contour. Quite tranquil in overall F/X & subdued to the edge of cancelling... in no small part due to hi-sugaring (about 1/3 of the chocolate base + another scoop on the candied ginger).
The sum manages to overcome several technical glitches to form a comfort bar... even the toothsome Texture reminds of teething on a pacifier.
