Appearance 4 / 5
Color: | pitch brown |
Surface: | slightly flaked |
Temper: | semi-flat |
Snap: | tight |
Aroma 6.7 / 10
dirty butter, wax, vinyl, & brazier dooky-manure that even alkalis can’t suppress; aerates tobacco & radishes
Mouthfeel 11.4 / 15
Texture: | stiff fat & dry powder |
Melt: | a time-vampire sucking it all day long |
Flavor 39.1 / 50
cocoa-flavored sugar -> vanilla grinds down to chocolate chip -> cookie dough cut by cinnamon -> mocha fudge at the bottom -> clears out a tiny radish mixed in melon
Quality 16.2 / 20
From the color straight thru the taste, this shows dutching all the way but well-dutched, the alkalis never too grating, leaving some of the innate profile intact & on the table. But like it’s namesake - Zaire - belongs to a by-gone era.
