Dust-devil of a chocolate vacuum sweeper, picking up a lot in its sunction path beyond cacáo.

looks just off the boat

VOG (vanilla oak giant) swarms over matted-down dried cocoa, butter ‘n coconut cream, banana, & nutwood
Mouthfeel   10.8 / 15
Texture: hard edge
Melt: sandy almost granular, suggesting pebbles
Flavor   41.2 / 50
enter flatline --- no chocolate bang, just cocoa onset -> idles... until nut mix - cashew -> almond -> pistachio skins -> buried stone fruit in a bag of sodbusting dirt (but it’s good earth) -> leaves sourly red
Quality   16.1 / 20
CBS (Cocao-mass / Butter / Sugar) ratio ~1:6:7 equates to a drop of chocolate-vanilla extract in a sea of sweet fat. Still, some drop, rippling with latent potential.
