Warning!! Camwhore detected!
I had been craving dark chocolate for weeks. Finally today I decided to buy this when I did grocery shopping after I got a facial at Liz Clinic. Got injected with steroid on some cystic spots, hurt badly! Okay, back to the topic, despite being an avid fan of dark chocolate, I had no idea what 85% dark chocolate tasted like, so I decided to have a taste.
Since I had no idea about the intensity, I bit a large chunk of it. Disaster! Bitter as hell!! But I trust Lindt as a world class chocolatier, so instead of blaming the chocolate bar, I thought I must have eaten it in the wrong way. So, after washing down my mouth and my throat with water to neutralise the unpleasant bitterness, I gave it the second bite, but now, I nibbled it slowly in a small bite, felt the flavour and aroma released inside my mouth, and let it melt gracefully without trying to chew it (which will obviously ruin the pleasure). The result was great! The chocolate went down smoothly without being bitter in a harsh way. I describe the flavour as powerful, rich, and earthy, yet creamy and smooth. But, due to the intense taste, I recommend you eat it slowly, enjoying every nibble with all your senses.
Outstanding and definitely worth trying, if you love dark chocolate as much as I do! It beats the oversweet Silver Queen dark chocolate all out. The only downside is the price which is quite pricey for my humble wallet.
However, even though I gave 8.5/10 to this chocolate, it’s still a little bit too heavy for my liking; I reckoned the 65%-75% ones would be perfect.
