Peperoncino
by Donna Elvira
Impact
Akin to that grade-school prank: throwing salt-peter down the despised teacher’s gas tank.
A Sicilian Syndicate’s version of sugar ‘n spice, like NY, NY twice as vice before turning into a Disneyfried theme park & the iPhone that killed it.
Unforgettable nonsense.

Appearance 4.6 / 5
| Color: | some opacity but otherwise dark for 40% |
| Surface: | beautiful damage: sugar crystal rusting thru; backside sludge |
| Temper: | a mirror w/ fingerprints |
| Snap: | last clunk of a dying radiator; coarsely sanded edge |
Aroma 8.2 / 10
degrees of cacáo: cocoa, chocolate, & cacáo-butter as milk cheese wrapped in cigar leaves; little sign of pepper or sugar -> magickly oxidizes to mango & lit tobacco
Mouthfeel 13.4 / 15
| Texture: | crumbling crystals |
| Melt: | dissolves into lecithin gel |
Flavor 22.8 / 50
sugar blast -> white lines for miles -> mango tracer licking a heat streak -> cocoa-flavoring -> hot mango-chili
Quality 9.3 / 20
Hyper sweet-heat. The contrast of fire ‘n ice in the gullet from a burning bag of Dominos sugar. Elvira, please note: white sugar does not quell red pepper, only fat can; so more cacáo-content, thank you.
ING: sugar, cocoa mass, chili
