Color:	dirty buckskin brown w/ purple inflections (hmmm)
Surface:	the shape: a gold bar... a brick... a loaf... a block... whatever, it has tonnage, wrapped in butcher’s paper
Temper:	glistening coat – enough megawatt shine for animals to use as a mirror in the forest
Snap:	requires a jackhammer

nostril-flaring red fire just breathes on you: vinyl -> cuts to fermented fruit (sour cherry) -> charred cocoa; direct & to the point

Texture:	fantastically rough, nibby & gritty - the way old school’s supposed to be; you want smooth, go get waxed
Melt:	no added cacáo butter yet surprisingly buttery on the passage

1st draw – sweet, right away... sugar sweet? – not sure... genetically sweet? – could be; omnisweet? – yes; sweetness envelopes huge centerpoint chocolate -> brown fruit -> cedar / clove -> strawberry blush -> raspberry -> here come the nibs, their FX like hot cocoa w/out water -> long roasted nut stretch (almond / walnut) -> loaming deep earth & subtle smoke finish

Just cacáo bean & sugar cane - no lecithin / no vanilla to mask the pitch of the chocolate’s DNA register. Conched only 3 hours (often resulting in a spikey profile) yet presented here with outstanding F3 (Focused Flavor Factor) producing tremendous poise & just enough teased variations to keep a moving interest.
