Flavor 39.2 / 50
sweet chocolate-chocolate bang... ups & leaves... soon enveloped in orchids (vanilla +) -> flattens as both vanilla & butter predominate the progression -> rubber / wax -> abacá (belongs to banana family) -> goes into a grain silo (rice) -> hangs on the vanilla rail -> singed cocoa down the latch
Quality 13.9 / 20
A humble seed humbly mistreated.
Fairly one-note monotone.
The very vanilla (of which the Aroma offers a precognition) that contributes to such a strong opening (of high CQ or Chocolate Quotient) soon overpowers the character of the cocoa it accompanies. Muffled & losing stamina, butter then finishes off the job so by the end the chocolate lies hidden, even buried, underneath.
INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla
