Impact
Looks like hell but must feel really well (the exact opposite to living in LA) because this tastes great. Yeah, it's doctored & so is just about everyone & everything with vaccinations & plastic surgery to Botox or GMO rootstocks on our Planet Rx. Deserves respect, too little of which the White stuff gets. White freaks, c'mon out 'n show 'em.
Appearance 2.8 / 5
| Color: | sickly in defiance of its name; tiny rashes of almond & perhaps vanilla root freckled thru-out - similar to |
| Surface: | probably S America |
| Temper: | waxen |
| Snap: | depressed; the cleave infested |
Aroma 9.2 / 10
transparent as baby's breath: clear milk & real cacáo butter underscored in resinous vanilla + a streak of bittersweet almond; rich & heavy
Mouthfeel 13.1 / 15
| Texture: | flabulously corpulent |
| Melt: | pasted w/ high-pedigreed softness |
Flavor 45.6 / 50
almond the silent killer that hardly shows in the aroma... out to get you... a real cutter, mutating White Choc mousse into salted nut-butter cream-sandwich -> melted vanilla ice-cream -> finishes in a light lemon sprite
Quality 18.7 / 20
So much on the nut. An inventive move, uniquely Bernachon, throwing the standard blueprint out, as almond squelches a lot of the sugar & infants' milk vomit so often the regular in White Chocolate. Far from a pure play (really now, which White Chocolate is?) yet those savory elements put it in a exclusive class for the category while still retaining its essential 'whiteness'.
