Quality 18 / 20
Potentially hazardous glob job self-corrects for super balance & ultra integration. Long sustained genesis to/from seemingly nowhere until a naturally sweet melon evolution - cut by a dash of citric splash for added depth - all cradled in light cocoa construct. This bean & its bar just keeps giving. CBS ~ 1:2:1
