Just returned from Joshua tree (see next post) and tasting chocolate again:
1) L: Lindt Excellence 80%
V: Good snap, very good melting temperature. hint of cherry. very fudgy. Clean aftertaste.
K: Light and crisp. Maraschino flavor. Clean. Good texture.
2) N: NewTree "Forgiveness" 73% with lemon
V: Texture is a bit hard. Lemon is interesting, but quickly turns ashy and bitter. Hint of soap. On the otherhand this is good when eaten quickly as a snack type bar-the lemon is more interesting then.
K: Sweetness and tartness don't mix in this. Dry. Lemon hits you before chocolate. Weird aftertaste. Bitter and acrid aftertaste. Good until compared to higher quality.
3) SB: Scharffen Berger 41% Milk
V: Caramel-cara mia. Doesn't melt quickly. Very tasty.
K: SB milk c. is soo good. Caramelization of the milk! Caramel! Texture very creamy but didn't melt as quickly as I expected. Milky aftertaste very prominent.
V's favorite: Lindt
K's favorite: Difficult between SB and L, very different.
Notes from an earlier unrecorded tasting of SB 68% Kumasi Sambirano:
Very choc. , fudgy sweet and earthy/grassy
Creamy and dark
accessible and fruity with excellent texture.
