Astor Washington DC Dark Chocolate

Last week I visited the Washington, DC area, and came across this bar at the airport gift shop. Being a "completist" in the area of dark chocolate, I felt obligated to purchase the bar. A person should not expect a lot from novelty chocolates, so I approached it with an open mind.

No cocoa content percentage is mentioned on the label, so I would guess it's between 50% and 60%. There's a strong milky element, likely to make it familiar to the casual chocolate eater. You will not find very much bitterness here, but the chocolate does liven your palate with sharp, nearly acidic, activity.

This is not a great bar, but it's not an awful bar either. With lowered expectations, you may find this souvenir of your trip to Washington a good snack on the plane ride home. 5.8
