Splits the tongue, then slits the throat
Appearance   3.9 / 5
Color: fawn
Surface: soft brushstrokes; pinholes at the corners (molds need scrubbing / cleaning?)
Temper: Soma's now-familiar appliqué: plastic wrapper transfer
Snap: bit squelched; great edge, smooth & consistent break wall
Aroma   6.4 / 10
high-school coed spritzing green tangerine mist, concentrated beyond the level of rinds & zest to antiseptic-strength -> backed in heavily-perfumed white orange blossoms; overkill
Mouthfeel   12.9 / 15
Texture: fullsome
Melt: elapsed
Flavor   38.7 / 50
instant widgey on green tangerine cut by green mango -> goes girlie & squishes a green grape -> cacáo butter de-intensifies the acidity (somewhat) for a citrus White Chocolate -> flash Dark Choc before calling in somes other whites (loquat & langsat) -> darkest hit saved for the finish until scoured away by citric acid
Quality   14.5 / 20
An idea that should've been resisted from the Dept of Redundancy Dept.

Adding more heat to the citric fire, tangerine fits in an amplified overlay to Madagascar cacáo’s own resident acids, highlighted in Soma's Mad-70 bar, & adheres to the label's penchant for complimentary pairings also seen in the DR / PNG as well as the spiced-Carenero in Dark Fire.

Compounded with way too much make-up that just litters up the profile (vanilla, lecithin)

ING: cocoa mass, sugar, cacáo butter, soy lecithin, vanilla, green tangerine oil
