Impact
Exactly who the hell is this guy Ernst Knam? Judging from the sly finesse of this bar, he's a conjuring devil of the dark arts.

Flavor 45.4 / 50
phat chocolate-raspberry jam w/ candied violets, meets mild pepper heat - & flavor –> modulates to another kind of spice – cardamom -> clears very vanilla in solid base chocolate -> back-shaft to black pepper in all its vaporous glory
Quality 18.9 / 20
Formidable; spice always influencing but never imposing until the very end. Pepper edging the notes of a fruit ‘n flower procession, so concentrated they too feel added to the mix, rather than inherent to an outstanding chocolate base.
