Impact
No ordinary trad-rocker, Rogue’s Sambirano hits the scene hard ala lollapalooza... a green & white scheme of things: grass & grapefruit among others.

Flavor 41.3 / 50
citrus load-in w/ skeletal vanilla coconut-chocolate -> white sequence of jumps: lemon, lime, & grapefruit sweeten to pineapple & grape... the total effect yellow plum -> kiwi the bridge for a counter to that citric maneuver, into herbaceous greens: grass, banana leaf, & silver fir... the combined sum a smooth if dark gin w/ light cream ending
Quality 16.9 / 20
Good high / low spectrum but only mild cacáo backbone w/ no real chocolate bang. The effect an inky, dirty wash dug in a ditch; less sparkling & vibrant than the Madagascar of the other American Young Gun – Patric (which hits the standard vibe of the island). Veers more toward Marcolini in its darker roast & hazier tones. In that respect, they kick the rest out of the club.
