Mouthfeel 12.3 / 15

Flavor 45.1 / 50
forest meadow herbals, greens, twigs, soil… all heaped together… fairly standard for Ecuador, then it diverges -> very intriguing honey mallow root x floral crosshatch pattern hits the sweet-jets & galvanizes a candy corn to caramel-taffy -> peanut toffee -> cocoa jute in the downshaft
Quality 17.8 / 20
Unique interpretation of Heirloom III cacáo. Terrific charisma. Occasionally shallow / thin, though easily overcome by those swirling candy FXs.
Other than ancillaries like the marred Appearance or the fast-tracking Texture, K'UL crafts up some meritorious chocolate whose Flavor deserves better than the bar's overall rating.
Cool indeed.
INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, sunflower lecithin; Barithmetic (Cocoa mass / Butter / Sugar ratio): ~2:3:2
