A sleeper / accessible overachiever. Deceptively uncomplicated construction keeps giving ground in the foundation while staying inside a tight frame box.
Appearance   3.1 / 5
Color: umber
Surface: rough & roughed (bubbles, scuffs, whorls, cracks...)
Temper: semi-flat finish
Snap: dull break
Aroma   8.3 / 10
butter cream top note -> wet forest -> big tobacco; skips the vanilla; cheddar on the rubdown
Mouthfeel   14 / 15
Texture: edifice complex
Melt: interminable huggalump
Flavor   43 / 50
brown-sugared chocolate crush -> brief volcanic ash -> juicy reds (strawberry/cherry) -> vanilla blackstrap -> spice rumor (cinnamon leaf) -> tang merger -> chocolate coconut
Quality   17.9 / 20
Corner hardware with decent tools - high butter content & low roast - still leaves room for a build-out that could have a higher ceiling, hence the score of 43 on Flavor. CBS ~2:3:2
