Impact
Bold & daring construction project falls apart into a DeVriesian ramshackle
Appearance 3.7 / 5
Color: | very even brown w/ faint tint maroon |
Surface: | unstable / unsettled; scored lines waver some; face scruffed w/ flecks & dust |
Temper: | soft shine |
Snap: | lower frequencies; coarse edge |
Aroma 6.4 / 10
dessicated homelessness: picks right up where Appearance left off... dust -> dried cocoa fudge -> helichrysum -> cardboard on pavement; vanilla sweat on top covering drunken, dim balsamic-like ferment
Mouthfeel 12.2 / 15
Texture: | granulates soft & dry... |
Melt: | ... sped away & sheds then fudges down |
Flavor 36.6 / 50
modified De Vries: green tobac -> green grape / helichrysum -> cardboard platforms Santander-type marshmallow -> souring gooseberry to black cherry -> bitter bean paste -> vanilla obstruction -> bizarre wine café (coffee) ending
Quality 13.1 / 20
Raw uncontrolled edge, deliberately so (minimal ferment, roast, & only quasi-conched via a tempering machine). The result: unharnessed flavors splay in all directions except one... true north - as in chocolate.
One grace note: relatively high sweetness factor despite low sugar content.
