Color:	dim, thick brown w/ a dirty milky look
Surface:	lizard-like
Temper:	flat
Snap:	monstrous

soothing smooth: old library of leather & wood under thin layer of dried pepper spray; smoked cocoa up top

Texture:	takes awhile to warm, then mostly shards
Melt:	temper & snap foretold the tale: fat globules

crushes in red grape -> cocoa dust & stripped wood -> butter cream -> heat rising against small cherry backdrop – a gloried moment on the edges of fire w/o burning; once pepper fully infuses, it exposes pitifully-plain chocolate base -> clears cinnamon redemption

deBondt wields a masterful hand. If only the selection of raw materials were similarly deft. Smoked Jalepeño just girds an already boldly roasted cocoa, leaving ever-aggressive tannins in their wake.
