the great industrial outdoors: twigs, corn/oatmeal, petrol/tar, toasted nuts, coffee; dense muddy cream/ghee in the middle; topped off with white flower incense; confounding color & aroma - is it really milk choc?

Quality 19.3 / 20
Authentic mother-unit; complex as milk gets.... crazy complexity... ‘Milk macchia’, rough & unrefined but incredibly clear confluence of wildly swinging signatures. Sweet, for sure, though sugar never gets in the way of cacáo’s substantial (38%) primal force to break-thru the ‘cane & cow. For serious Milk Choc people, & the Dark hardcore too.
