Too sweet to be an 85 – like bringing Kool-Aid to an adults-only party.

Aroma   7.7 / 10
darkest part of the experience; mid-intensity; reds give way to brown woods & new car interior over which white flower ‘srooms into vanilla marshmallow clouds
Mouthfeel   12.7 / 15
Texture: shrapnel laden minefield
Melt: detonator
Flavor   42.3 / 50
‘how sweet it is’ (thank you Jackie Gleason) - 85%???... kick starts on pure sweetness -> cinnamon spice -> fruit cup -> fruit bowl -> fruit salad -> fruit mash-up -> walnut vanishes into coconut like Casper the friendly ghost
Quality   15.2 / 20
Catches a comet traveling from 1 progressive blurried scene to another – only magnified - all persistently acidic. As such, a linear underachievment that feels & tastes of starting point with little conception of the outcome.
