Durian Fruit Chocolate

61% milk chocolate with durian fruit

by Naive

Nose: Sweet. Sort of like vomit if you're unable to taste sourness. Dark and spongy. I can imagine some kind of fabric used for athleisure wear that tastes like this if you make a tea out of it. It reminds me of footballs.

Mouth: Sweet, milk powder, medium-bright sour. Something a little lychee-like. Quite low and round, but fruity. Flying through a summer breeze upside down, carrying your hopes from the ground to the snail people who live at the top of the World Vine. You will beg to drink their snail slime and it will taste like this. It will taste like pools of blue-green bioluminescence beneath the earth, and like the dreams of sleeping seaweed before it rises.

Reflections: It makes me feel... a very specific emotion I don't know the name of. If the emotion made a sound it would be glub-glub-wubble. It's like jellyfish music, but more grounded and less ethereal. It's very strange and exciting. Interesting how the milk flavor seems to bind the fruit to the chocolate. I'm not sure the two would integrate without it, but with the milk bridge it's fantastic. I'm really impressed with this one. I think I’ll need to taste this a few different times to hear all of it.
