Aroma 8.8 / 10
total bombardment: benthic bottom of the sea swell... volcanic, molasses sugar & spice (ginger / clove), coconut, almond; &, oh yeah... chocolate – deep, rich, thick, & supreme
Mouthfeel 14.1 / 15
| Texture: | super smoove; plush, overly unctuous if slightly stringent |
| Melt: | you think it’s a silicon implant but it’s not cuz this ain’t no plastic air kiss, honey |
Flavor 45.4 / 50
spicy chocolate pasta (ginger / clove / bergamot) -> sweet bitter-almond butter -> shifts the overdrive into a cocoa worm-hole where none have gone before - sans worries - since it’s colorful, though in the same way as Kubrick’s 2001, the odyssey’s hypervelocity bears too great an intensity w/ so many ineffable layers to differentiate, traveling from one groan-inducing strength to another -> smooth out-take w/ hang-time that stretches & bends for.... well, Infinity
Quality 18.7 / 20
As expected, condensed structure; vrooms with power but who can articulate finesse at this concentrated level? You’re floored with thundering grace while rare equilibrium keeps the heavens in balance - a flattened bitter threatens to rage in excess but is held in check as the acid, in danger of dying out, stays put. Perfect ratios, minutely sugared, all point to sweet genetics coupled with insuperable mastery. CBS 6 :: 7 :: :>1
