Jacques Torres - Crunch Defective... investigating the seedier side of self-absorbed indulgence.
Appearance   2.9 / 5
Color: blackened brown
Surface: Jacques macho-logo + shows his vulnerability: nibs, bumps, scars, bruises, & grease
Temper: semi-gloss
Snap: thud; pin holes in the break wall
Aroma   4.1 / 10
smoked tire treads; cocoa, coconut, rutted almond
Mouthfeel   7.6 / 15
Texture: waxed, thin coat quickly pulls away from nibs
Melt: rapid melt down to the nib core
Flavor   36.3 / 50
hits of paved cherry, coconut, & heavy buttered-caramel fall away quickly -> counter-pull of roasted almond rapidly turns into coffee from the nibs -> chemical mint top note
Quality   10.4 / 20
Generalized distortion of fruit ‘n nuts macadamized in hot asphalt. Based on JT’s signature House Blend, this fibrous nibby sticks in the teeth, the distraction to otherwise flat-on-flat cosmopolitan flavor.
