This bar packs a punch, as would be exprected with a 91% cocoa bar. High bitterness, but doesn't overpower. No chalky texture. Little gets past the chocolate flavor -- no side notes detectable. Pulse may quicken when tasting, due to higher caffeine kick. Appropriate only when wanting a serious chocolate event. 6
