Milk Chocolate
by Theo & Philo
Impact
Theo & Philo writes that "just as when Romeo & Juliet, the blending of chocolate & milk heralded one of the greatest love stories the world has ever known".
Ahhh, spoiler alert, in Shakespeare's version it didn't work out too well for the Capulets & the Montagues.
Consider this then the world's best Milk Chocolate... never fully consummated.

Appearance 3 / 5
| Color: | a jaundiced blush |
| Surface: | O Romeo, O Romeo... I've blemishes & puffiness all about my face |
| Temper: | sullen |
| Snap: | forlorn with a gravely edge |
Aroma 7.3 / 10
Pinoy Longganisang hamonado (a sweet meat chorizo) + kesong puti (native Filippino cheese; think of a cross between cottage cheese & mascarpone)... basically 'Choco-Bell' without the tortilla
Mouthfeel 10.6 / 15
| Texture: | powder keg |
| Melt: | slow dissolve |
Flavor 43.8 / 50
trad caramel MC, too traditional really, heavy on the vanilla -> lap hog Rollo® splooging in dark honey, just sticks it in there for the longest... to a surprising bittersweet ending
Quality 15.1 / 20
Star-crossed lovers indeed but what a fling.
Hyper sweet for a Dark-Milk: milk 'n honey 'n cocoa.
Self-corrects nicely from the initial miscues by sweetening the mouth-pot with honey tones in a base chocolate whose punching power breaks thru at the very tail for a rather emboldened finale.
That very honey-tannic lick compensates for some rather woeful ancillaries (especially the Textural ones).
