Dandelion Belize Maya Mountain 2021 Harvest 70% cacao

The bar has a distinct caramel flavor, edging towards toffee. Not very bitter, but the cacao flavor of the bar is dense, leaning towards a chalky consistency. The aftertaste persists due to the the chalky aspect, but is not bitter. 7.6

Compare to Dandelion Belize Maya Mountain (2017) 70% cacao and prior editions of this origin. This bar seems milder than the prior harvests, and the taste profile is quite different. The label suggests: "We taste European tasting chocolate and strawberry coulis." The density of the cacao flavor that I taste might agree with the tasting chocolate mentioned on the label, but I do not taste strawberry or any fruit flavor.
