Brasstown Ecuador 75% cacao

Earthy and fruity at the same time. Sweet aroma, clean aftertaste. Nice crisp snap when broken. Well made, with an interesting mold. 9.0

Lotte Ghana Black Chocolate

Fairly standard type mass-market bar. There is a strong vanilla flavor present. The ingredients for this bar mentions "artificial flavors," so I would conclude that was added. 6.8

This bar is made in Japan, so the label in nearly entirely in Japanese. The most prominent work on the label is "Ghana," which would lead me to conclude that the cocoa's origin is Ghana, however I have not yet determined whether this is indeed the case.
