Comalco, Tabasco 73%

 

Aroma: toasted malt, leather, sundried tomato, raisins, warm earth

 

Flavor: earthy, little bursts of red fruitiness/raspberry and acidity, a little dryness, some good flavor. Flavor continues to expand as it warms, revealing notes of cookies and honey. Overall an unrefined character that suggests a light roast and short conche.

 

Recommendation: Recommended with reservations. Unusual, with some pleasant flavors. I have had several Mexico bars I preferred, but this was not bad.
