Color:	pitched as dark as the cacáo nuts from which it derives
Surface:	hard brush strokes
Temper:	twilight
Snap:	a hush puppy of a 90%

90% ain't supposed to be kids stuff but this a veritable freshly-painted skool building, the interior of the Arts 'n Crafts Dept, replete with Play-Doh^®, watercolors, & construction paper
rare, unique & strange

Texture:	as with the Flavor (below) -- waxen
Melt:	round belly

plaster & kaolin -> wax -> fudge spackling -> flash bitters -> settles down on coffee with, mercifully, cream -> tobacco-leather packet

Bizarre beginning, a carryover from the weirding going on in the Aroma.

Self-corrects, of sorts, for a very generic coffee ender.

Though the ingredient panel lists no added cocoa butter, it sure feels like it... lots of it. Indeed, Nahua confirms such upon further inquiry. Constructed from a seed lot that differs from Nahua's own diverse cacáos, collected instead from small growers in the same area, then centrally fermented & dried.

In sum, this bar tastes submerged & off-point. The culprit may lie in an undeodorized cocoa butter with issues related to its machine press.

By the finish though, nothing lost / nothing gained in a rather neutral 90%.

INGREDIENTS: cocoa, sugar, cocoa butter
