Middlebury Belize Maya Mountain 80% cacao

Rich cocoa flavor, with subtle hints of herbs. Clean finish with a pleasant aftertaste. 8.0

This is the second bar from Middlebury I have tasted. Their label says they strive to create "beautiful chocolate. Not perfect chocolate, just beautiful chocolate." Hmm, beauty is a visual assessment, and while the packaging is attractive, and the bar itself appears well made, I would not call either beautiful. However, more likely the statement is attempting to bend "beauty" to the taste of the bar, which is quite respectable.

Now if you want to talk about beautiful bars, take a look at a Dick Taylor bar, or Coppeneur's bar, or Charm School's bar.
