Terrific Yeti variant plies caked biscuit macaroon influence to fudgy bourbon chocolate spicing as well as ancillary caramel-burnt coffee roast and tertiary espresso milking, retaining its contrastively stylized hop-charred wood sear just below the expansive mix. At the intense mocha finish, sugary vanilla creaming coats ‘macarooned’ coconut toasting, almond buttering and hazelnut pasting.
