Green and Black's Dark 70%

Whilst the night fall cometh
thou mouth and stomach
Seek thee a sweet
may it not be discreet

Green and Black's Dark 70% is a treat. A dark that does not overwhelm, which instead invites.
It's bold taste is tempered with a sweet feel of vanilla, the G&B trademark. The 70% certainly opens as a rich dark, but melts smoothly and leaves a sweet taste, making this a very good entry chocolate for those new to darks, and looking for a high quality bar.

Dan's Chocolate: The Caffeinator

Where art thou, simple pleasure?
You tend my senses as a brilliant treasure.
Hark, Dan has shown the way.
The Caffeinator it is, we say.

I found Dan's Chocolates first in Freeport, ME a few years back. The caffeinator was my first from Dan, and it appeared in bar form. Later, I discovered Dan's Truffles, which are carried at Whole Foods.

The Review:
I've typically enjoyed the Caffeinator after dinner, paired with a simple glass of milk. High Lawn Farms LowFat. The 64% chocolate shell is well balanced, substantial without need for a true bite. Because of the creamy truffle center, the piece plays a bit creamier and less robust as a standard mid60's dark. The ground coffee in the center is not overwhelming, at the risk of being a bit understated when compared to other bars featuring coffee grounds. Put together, this is a fine medium bold chocolate which creates a very smooth experience.
