COLOR
Choc Pudding was released as part of the Holiday 2020 collection. It is a medium cool brown with some gray shift that reminds me of hot chocolate powder. Interestingly, this is an ink that appears more desaturated in person than is shown on most photos or scans. On paper it reminds me of chocolate milk.
CHARACTER
There is a decent amount of shading in this ink. I enjoy the contrast in the shading - it goes from a fairly light brown-gray to a deep cocoa brown when the ink pools up.
CONSISTENCY
This ink had a slightly dry flow. It also was prone to some feathering and bleedthrough on a variety of papers. It is decently legible on most papers as well.

CONCLUSION
I'm a fan of brown inks and gray inks, so I find myself liking the color of this brown in particular. It sits apart from the rest of my warmer-toned browns, which makes it an interesting color to use. I wish it wasn't as prone to feathering, as it is dry enough that I'd like to try it in a broad nib but I worry that it will further narrow the types of papers that can be used with it.
