Aroma 4.1 / 10
smoked tire treads; cocoa, coconut, rutted almond

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.
