Packaging
55g The chocolate is wrapped and sealed in shiny plastic wrap.
Look
The chocolate is light brown with yellow-green cap
Sound
The chocolate breaks with a snap sound
Smell
The packaging immediately smells a bit of citric lemongrass and cocoa. The chocolate smells of sugar, milk and cocoa.
Mouthfeel
The chocolate is very smooth. It melts into a thick creamy liquid before melting properly. The filling is liquid 'runny' caramel syrup which is very soft and disperses quickly in the mouth.
Taste
The chocolate is tastes of milk, sugar and hints of cocoa. On its inside, is taken on the acidic, lemony flavour the lemongrass caramel. The filling itself starts with a lemon flavour. But the sugar comes through quickly and covers lemongrass flavours.
Aftertaste
The aftertaste is mainly of sugar at the rear of the mouth, some cocoa and milk notes.
Summary
This is a sweet milk chocolate filled with runny caramel. It has only some hints of lemongrass.
Verdict
The milk chocolate is very smooth. The caramel does not strongly emphasise the typical caramel flavours but tastes of sugary sweet. The desired hint of lemongrass is just a small and short-lived lemony note before it is quickly covered with sweetness. 3 Stars.
