earth under girding marshmallows ‘n cream; red fruits on rubdown

lactose/sugar flush rimrocked on malted grain -> caramel -> nimbostratus marshmallow cloud -> rains cashew cream -> floating subliminal wreath of strawberries / blond cherries & hibiscus / pink orchids (greatest of them all: vanilla)... all w/ lotus-like Monet lightness

CBS ratio: over half weighs in Sugar, a third Butterfat, & the meager remainder - Cocoa mass. Yet all doubts surrounding Colombian cacáo, & Santander, dispelled. DMC for another reason: nearly Dark-Milk Chocolate in stature. Sugar countered by milk & chocolate, both seemingly recessive, yet their influential presence felt, their soft power launching several subliminal effects. If only a smoother take-off & ever-so-slightly greater definition (increase cacáo-content by a point or 2?), it’d rank among the greats of any class.
