Askinosie Davao Philippines 77% cocoa

Fairly bitter, though nicely balanced with the cocoa. Some faint flavors underlie the cocoa, making this bar full of interest. The flap of the wrapper for this bar has YOU MIGHT TASTE emblazoned on it: "brown sugar, earthy tannins and lavender."  I taste no brown sugar, but the bitterness may be interpreted as "earthy tannins." The lavender flavor is not what I would have noticed, but there may be a subtle element of lavender in the mix. 8.1
