On the palate, the flavor mirrors the aroma, with an initial diesel and citrus pop that transitions into bitter chocolate or espresso notes. The exhale can reveal earthy, cocoa, and subtle vanilla nuances. Well-cured batches are noted for a smooth, creamy mouthfeel, with the chocolate impression often persisting throughout consumption.
