Bean with major properties - a chocolate wonderland.
Appearance   4.1 / 5
Color: tri-chrome: phosphorescent black, brown & white frost
Surface: marble sheet
Temper: semi-gloss glide
Snap: neutral
Aroma   9.2 / 10
air-pocket of flowers; soft intensity reds; banana-mallow bent around vanilla; honey-cream; sublevel cocoa – all to great anticipation
Mouthfeel   13.4 / 15
Texture: flesh w/ just a tease of resistance
Melt: collapses well enough to dry
Flavor   46.9 / 50
instant honeysuckle-rose bomb -> slides out into the spice-cake heart-of-the-experience -> fast acting melonic acid hangs on vines leaving astringent mint clearing -> chocolate loiters an innocent bystander thru-out length but it’s really a high-powered accomplice, like hiring Patty Hearst to do the bidding
Quality   19 / 20
Ambrosial girlie stuff, a play of clean flavors, but with architectural power furnishing a revealing comparison between itself & Santander’s treatment of practically the same bean at the same percentage. Subtle differences in approach (Guittard roasts fractionally more; conches slightly less) yield markedly differing results.
