Impact
An all-in-one tail of Moron, Weasel, & Douche-bag:
In lower Manhattan around the corner from Greenwich & Rector, sits a strip club loaded with pole-dancers right next to a deli serving the usual meat cuts with cheese. The two share a kitchen in the back where customers of either can have a lap dance on top of their sliced sausage. Real-life intimacy that subs for Facebook relationships.
Shopworn douche bags in the area wear & pay for Comme de Garçon but look head-to-toe no better than Gap™. That describes lots of designer stuff nowadays to a T, year after year (DDC Lab, APC &, in the summer, Prada). A fortune spent to look nondescript: navy blue T-shirt & jeans. The only cheap item - Doc Martens at a hundred bucks.
Morons also justify shelling out high rent not for a whole apartment but a tiny room in one because, hey, where else but NYC can you find that... it's so way cool... after drowning in a just a couple Red Stripes, then fighting for bathroom rights for who can pisshaps the fastest.
Weasels: when the bank is all flushed out, this bar - effectively a lap dance that hams it up - will feel like an affordable replacement.

Appearance 3.8 / 5
| Color: | grey-buck brown |
| Surface: | thinly poured mold lightly scored w/ hi-designed cacáo pods |
| Temper: | frosted bloom city |
| Snap: | bad-tempered brittle break; solid edge wall |
Aroma 7.9 / 10
complicated: dense ground flooring of chocolate-caramel & peanut -> sprouting a pea shoot -> peat moss -> sea greens break into dross... hard fromage on a cheese board -> raw cacáo elements
Mouthfeel 10.9 / 15
| Texture: | chewing gum |
| Melt: | fractured |
Flavor 40.4 / 50
chicle supported by copious butter -> greens & acids collide as PNG and Mad duke it out... more brutal than Ultimate Fight Competition -> back bitter turns sour -> citric bug spray -> starts to have a beef... hemoglobin & iron -> a little jambone for smoked ham -> faint chocolate at the periphery covered in peanut skins buried in mud -> hard charred brownie
Quality 14.3 / 20
Certain sensations one wishes would never end. This isn’t one of them.
What briefly begins with lots of promise undergoes somatic changes into a more traditional unsweetened 100%: punishment. A modified version of the stellar Arcana 3-100 formulation: add-in a 4th origin – Ivory Coast (basically an extension of sorts to Ghana) - theoretically furnishing this with deeper base-chocolate foundation but practically negated by PNG which swaps out DR... more proof of DR’s prowess & why PNG (particularly this one previewed in Soma’s 70% PNG) is no substitute since it clashes with Madagascar to trigger a confabulation of woes.
Nothing horrendous; just ill conceived & tough on the senses. But as novelist Ellen Glasgow observed, “The only difference between a rut & a grave are the dimensions.”
ING: cacáo
