Raaka, Bourbon, cask aged, 83%

To put thou together
No matter or whether
a vice in hand
lends pleasure to man


The bourbon is clear and present. The chocolate is pure. The combination is natural. This bar separates itself from other 80%+ bars that may be bold, but fall flat. The cask aged bourbon picks up the strength of the chocolate, and makes this an extremely edible and incenting chocolate. The packaging notes strong caramel, vanilla and oak -- I would put them in the opposite order, and they are right on.

Good snap, and immediate, lasting flavor. Of the Raaka bars I've had, this is the strongest to date. Well done.
