Impact
Neolithic Chocolate thru the flames of time. True to form, Coppeneur hits the over-roast button, starting a forest fire, & leaves the rainforest in ruins while engaging in Bismarck’s definition of pre-emptive war by "committing suicide out of fear of death."

Aroma 1 / 10
upon opening…POW – the trippie-heady-dude can’t take another poke off the bong nose of this recoiling powerhouse; tremendous earthen terra cotta / bamboo, light minerals, spices (the 3Cs - cinnamon, clove, cardamom), robust espresso, & clean fruit (candy raisin & wild strawberry) w/ floral underprints (hibiscus, lavender, jasmine) cut thru a great C H O C O L A T E scent; basically a sativa garden of the gods
Mouthfeel 8.9 / 15

Flavor 29.1 / 50
the bite on this bar is more ferocious than its bark... some kind of remorseless Rottweiler, really... starting w/ cocoa -> intense bitter edge -> deep espresso oils -> titty teaser fruits (orange to bergamot) balance it all out until a thick dark burnt-smog subsumes everything in smoke damage
Quality 12.3 / 20
Built then scorched like a brick shithouse in the rainforest. Poised & well-conched before losing control in an insanely roasted episode. It’s a stretch but, believe it or not, on the cusp of greatness.
