Color:	light brown cast in orange rust
Surface:	wavy ripples/bubbles...
Temper:	... neutral sheen & still looks great
Snap:	high

exotic & gifted surround-scent fragrance – just lifts you off the ground: huge cocoa; honey/jasmine/white flowers; papaya/banana/plum; middle plank toasted hazelnut; each a separate signature yet merges for unified aroma

Texture:	dry solids
Melt:	take its time... fudge-like

roasted hazelnut -> bitter nut -> brief berry peek -> long prune smog atop dark-toned chocolate undercoat; taken together a bold suffocating miasma... a darkness rivaling post-war Eastern European novels (good but hardly uplifiting)

Forget that it’s pumped with flavor additives (swaps out vanilla for prune). Achieves what few do: a relatively bitter ‘Arriba’ stripped of florid highlights. Neither sugar nor butter at fault, though once more Lindt rolls-up high-fat content as if to feed on the obese American stereotype. Subprime beans &, more self-evident, over-roasting the culprits. Plus Lindt’s ego forces this varietal to conform to an ideal of center-point chocolate (epitomized in its monumental 85% blend), much as a control-freak/trainer buggy-whips a horse that veers out of line.
