Dick Taylor Columbia Palomino 78% cacao

As expected from a high-cacao content bar, this bar is rich in cocoa flavor and fairly bitter. The aftertaste is fairly smooth, though. The flavor notes are somewhat earthy. The label suggest these flavors: Dried Alfalfa, Bananas, Fudge

Certainly the rich cocoa flavor can be accounted for as "fudgy". The alfalfa flavor might be what I think of as "earthy". The banana flavor is one I am not quite tasting, though it is in line with the earthy, fudgy taste. 7.5

Ingredients: Cacao, Cane sugar (organic)

Additional notes from card included with the chocolate:
"The flavor of the chocolate is soft, and subtle, with aromas that remind you of the warm smell of a barn full of hay and flavor notes of bananas and fudge. This bar is able to strike a well balanced chord that highlights earthy tones played against a backdrop of tropical fruits."
