Droste Holland Pastilles Bittersweet Chocolate Chocolat Noir

Some bitterness, but mostly a tinny taste. No cocoa content shown, but tastes maybe 60%. 6

The red-box Pastilles were a regular snack item for me before I started exploring other dark chocolates for this project. As mentioned for the blue-box Pastilles, the packaging is convenient for carrying, and I remember the taste as being pretty good. Now, after tasting a variety of other dark chocolates, the Droste looks much weaker by comparison. There's an aftertaste that I describe as "tinny", that the best dark chocolates don't have.
