Blind tasting #6

Chocolate #6

Appearance:

The overall appearance is very dark and glossy. This was considered the most beautiful looking chocolate out of all of the types. 

Touch:

 The chocolate was very waxy and sticky.

Sound:

The tasters thought that this chocolate had a soft break and seemed to crumble when bent.

Aroma:

The smell was a strange mix. You could smell the sweetness of the chocolate, but there also seemed to be a hint of something fruity and also something that seemed spicy. 

Mouthfeel:

The chocolate had a waxy but also gritty mouthfeel. You could now tell that there were pieces in the chocolate.

Flavor:

The flavor was noted to be slightly bitter but than contained an intense spicy flavor mixed with some sweetness

Aftertaste:

The aftertaste was lingered and was slightly dry and spicy.

Overall comments: 
This chocolate was very unique. It contained a mix of sweet and spicy which was something we had never seen in chocolate before.

This chocolate is Chocolove's Chilies & Cherries In Dark Chocolate Bar

Overall thoughts:

Personally I thought the idea between mixing something sweet and spicy is a great idea but I don't think the flavors are perfectly in balance. The chocolate says that the Chilies supply the heat while cherries provide sweetness. I think it seemed to have a little to much chillies and not enough cherries for me. The chocolate itself though was very nice. It says dark chocolate but this was not as bitter as many chocolates I have tried before which was good with the extra flavors. This is due to it being inly 55% cocoa.  The flavors do attack your tongue in different areas giving you a unique and full chocolate tasting experience. If you like something spicy then defiantly try this chocolate!

This chocolate is sold for around $2.79 for a 3.2 oz bar so about  $0.87/ oz.
