					Appearance   3.1 / 5 
			| Color: | oatmeal | 
| Surface: | rough & lumpy; backside swales | 
| Temper: | dull finish out back while mac oil seemingly shines up the face | 
| Snap: | limp | 
Aroma   6.8 / 10
			
slightly dirty funk (rather like some Malbac wines from the same region); spoiled nut oil, baking soda, burnt crème brulée, sugar, & mild chocolate
			Mouthfeel   12.1 / 15
			| Texture: | soft, well-sized nut granules | 
| Melt: | clean, smooth, & well distributed | 
Flavor   23.8 / 50
			
detonates a sugar bomb that just shatters then scatters all underlying flavors flying off to their dissolution (mac oil more than mac nut, powdered cream chocolate & toffee)
			Quality   12.3 / 20
			
Obnoxiously imbalanced - borderline candy. Very much a blend taste but from a single bean source with none of the high-fruit/earth back notes that are the “wanna gets” from   this origin. Nuts add nearly nonexistent flavor (despite Caoni's much-hyped "special processing") & very soft texture (common problem with high fat nuts blended into premium chocolate). Quality & components are here which the length bears out: good roast hiding in there somewhere, clean conch, light hand on the lecithin but a heavy one on the sugar virtually destroys everything.
