BAR TASTING

Sugar Flavor Moderate
Cacao Flavor Moderate
Acidity nonexistent
Roasted Nuts nonexistent
Bitterness Moderate
Fruitiness nonexistent
Tasting Experience Opening the sealed aluminum foil delivers a low level of chocolaty aroma mixed with some sweetness. In melting in the mouth, these aromas become bigger while remaining somehow subdued. The texture is excellent mid-way between creamy and sturdy. The after taste is consistent with the initial sensations i.e good weak or low. Overall a good chocolate, but its Costa Rican origin made us expect some personality.
