Still waters run deep, & others flow over the falls, while this butterfungus hydrolizes a sugar swamp
Appearance 3.6 / 5
| Color: | purple-cast to the brown |
| Surface: | some gashes & scratches |
| Temper: | absorbent sheen |
| Snap: | sharp for a 60% |
Aroma 8.4 / 10
hard knocks of icichiba-wood & horseback-leather tempered in innocent cocoa -> grows nutty with woods-ear mushroom on the edge wall -> a little spice rack at the back; especially well-framed & balanced considering its percentage
Mouthfeel 9.1 / 15
| Texture: | noticeable grain & powder |
| Melt: | disaggregated fat |
Flavor 37.6 / 50
commingles dried cherry ‘n cocoa -> sape grass & sugar cane -> diluted cocoa -> subsumed fruit (gooseberry) & spices (tonka) -> mushroom tonic
Quality 12.4 / 20
A downgrade in more ways than one from Amma’s 75% sib. Numerous fault lines... the obvious Texture which proves too problematic for lecithin to overcome; the formulation (CBS [Cocoa mass / Butter / Sugar]: 5:7:8) stilted in favor of fat & sugar; suspect conche stripping the volatiles without micronizing the particles nonetheless; & structurally weak & haphazardous... yet it comes on strong at the finish to forgive if not forget all the flaws.
