Flavor 41.6 / 50
cocoa dunk in coffee -> sugar glaze from the bottomless cup... great crystal interplay between it & the coffee grinds -> nuts start making a little noise (oils of hazelnuts bathing the beans) cut by a quik fruit juice stream -> gushy sugars come flooding back up to a chocolate rush -> resurgent coffee just buckets the end
Quality 17.3 / 20
The taste similarly multi-structured along the very lines of texture (praliné fill at the center wrapped by the main chocolate component of the bar). Superb balance in the mid-pal bracketed on front & back sides by all that coffee (in true Bernachon fashion a bit of a heavy pour which this bar has a hard time containing though considerably less than his straight Café).
