Flavor 41.6 / 50
chocolate cream caramel sets backdrop -> lemon pops right up to overtake it -> peat moss; so far classic Java bean, even the following toffee too (via pine nut) -> major shift as dairy notes swarm in to form souring buttermilk -> smoked gouda cheese -> tobacco faintly reminds from whence this came: the land of smoke &, in this case, cheese
Quality 15.2 / 20
Tastes crazy, at times unsmooth, even stilted. Milk invisibly lurks in the recesses but effects entire progression until its stark off-putting appearance raises a Hershey's-like clabbered lipase enzyme, nearing goat-cheese (chevre), that provokes the cacáo bean more than escorts it.
