Packaging

Look
The chocolate is very dark brown with a distinct red shimmer on all surfaces.
Sound
The chocolate breaks with a very clear snap sound.
Smell
There are a lot of cocoa aromas with notes of agave and cream, as well as hints of nuts.
Mouthfeel
The chocolate initially feels very hard and solid. It melts slowly into a very fine liquid. While melting the body remains solid with clear edges between solid and liquid chocolate.
Taste
The chocolate starts with brief sweet note and a lasting more astringent coffee flavour. Dark roasted nuts and intense dark cocoa flavours develop. Lighter, more acidic flavours evolve after some time and leave hint of some sour fruity notes. The sweetness is noticeable more as a sensation than a flavour and counters the sour notes.
Aftertaste
The aftertaste is mainly cocoa flavour in the middle of the mouth, with some sourness at the sides and roasted nut flavours at the rear of the mouth
Summary
This is a dark chocolate with rich and intense flavours of dark roasted nuts, coffee as well as fruity and sour notes.
Verdict
This is a very well made chocolate with very good melt. It preserves the flavours of its original cocoa and show-cases them. 5 Stars.
