Appearance 4.8 / 5
| Color: | picture perfect; beautiful sight to behold; burnt sienna |
| Surface: | clean, smooth |
| Temper: | great; high plate w/ light diffusion |
| Snap: | pronounced for Semi-Dark; sharp & straight cleave yields a desiccating chocolate (too little butter/too much cocoa powder in the liquor?) |
Aroma 6.3 / 10
dusty/moldy w/ light earth & cocoa back
Mouthfeel 11.5 / 15
| Texture: | hyper-refined |
| Melt: | immediate, like water for chocolate |
Flavor 41.9 / 50
nice chili package, good burn softened by cherry but chocolate itself waxen & sanded, in part due to poor quality sugar, mingled w/ that tell-tale Chocolove tin/metal/machine oil finish
Quality 15.6 / 20
Some fine & fun additives. Cacáo, however, poorly roasted & over-ground.
