unlike any other & just like the FXs of nitrous oxide (laughing gas): chocolate-chips cookies, custard, marshmallows, & cream cake -> very thin plank underneath (wood leaning to cardboard) for support; delirious

Flavor 42.9 / 50
cocoa cream -> maraschino cherry -> early chocolate bang -> coffee plum cake (shades of Felchlin’s Classificado) -> marshmallow-rising, winged by floral dorals (hibiscus on 1 side, narcissus the other)... just breathing down, comes ‘n gets you -> dips out for jolt landing of sizzling gunpowder / iron-walnut on hard grass teeming, then quashed, with microorganisms... explodes unresolved -> coffee-cake w/out fruit ending
Quality 16.4 / 20
Missing deep fathoms of true greatness. Shallow depth & flavors cluster on superficial surface. But what a surface – beyond neon electric flashes, it sparks. Distinct & unique. Tremendous flavor-set goes out of kilter toward end; Santander yet to control bitterness without harming overall profile despite a sound roast, indicating a fair amount of Pajarito genes in the mix.
