Dick Taylor Bolivia Alto Beni Limited Release 70% cacao

Strong caramel flavor can be tasted with a fairly bitter overlay. Nicely tempered, with a clean, sharp snap when broken. 8.0

The label's tasting notes say: "Malt / Soft ripe fruit / Green tea". Of these three, "green tea" is the most applicable to what I taste -- possibly contributing to the bitterness I get. "Soft ripe fruit" is a puzzle. What fruit? Banana? Peach? Strawberry?

As for "malt," that provides a "roasted flavor," which could also be part of the bitterness and some of the caramel that I taste.
