Lindt Excellence 70% Cocoa


What caught my eye with this bar was the "New Recipe" note on the wrapper. Okay, let's give the new recipe a try.  I brought this bar to the weekly poker game, and it was vacuumed up within two minutes.  Herman really liked it, giving it an 8.5. Jackson was more circumspect, acting the bar 7.

It's a good bar! Smooth and rich cocoa flavor, no bitterness.  The downside is that there is almost no aftertaste. It will go down fast and easy, but not leave much of a memorable experience. 7.5

Dandelion Tanzania 70% cocoa

This bar has the flavor profile of the Madagascar bars that I like so much. Citrus notes on initial taste, followed by a nice cherry flavor.  Low bitterness and very pleasing aftertaste. 9.0
