Quality 16.8 / 20
Monotone (but with some resonance) until very end when it opens fractionally. Pegged at same strength as Guittard’s 38% Orinoco (also this bar’s manufacturer) & seemingly made with whole milk crumb for classic, Cadbury-like caramel notes. Could benefit from a different combination roast / gentler conche, &/or more cocoa mass (less butter). As is, it wipes Hawaii's citric-chocolate components.
