Color:	muddy waters felched the riverbanks & sun-dried dirt brown
Surface:	bruised, scarred, lined, cracked, & scuffed
Temper:	desiccated
Snap:	a concussion

erupts fire & water from the next zip code over - lava ash, roasted smoke, nothing “woody” but a huge swinging iroko tree banging the nose; dank herbs (big tobacco; coffeeberry, angelica root, wet soil), acrid-masked-acids (sour cherry, currant / riberry ferment, cinnamon ground deep inside, vinegar pulp) – wildly alive... jolting & jarring & absolutely gets your attention in a fight or flight reaction

Texture:	deceptively soft despite nibs; medium bodied
Melt:	ebb & flow

soft taste: chocolate goodness thru & thru w/ brief blonde cherry sunrise & nib breakdown on terra cotta almonds; glimmers of aroma’s transfer appear faintly on the edges (minute cinnamon & coffee, oaken vanilla as a limninal element)

What you get is what you get – uncomplicated & mostly uninterrupted center-point chocolate. Deft even-handed roast controls tannins + just enough acidity for interest, while nibs add depth for a dry taste that nonetheless feels lubed.
