Looks wonderful, Randy.  How were the four flavor profiles?  Are they all keepers, or did one really stand out?  The Dove Chocolate one sounds interesting.

They were all keepers.

The sweet and spicy cocoa I had not used on a steak before. It is very interesting, not "chocolatey" at all. There is salt, some heat. Very hard to describe the flavor, but it is good.

Head country I've done before, and knew what to expect.

The Renouned Mr brown I've used on butts, but not on a steak.

The John Henry Raspberry chipotle is a "house favorite" here.
