Alter Eco Dark Blackout Organic Chocolate 85%
About: The verbiage on the package says it's a "seriously dark bar for those who are serious about chocolate." Well, it's seriously underwhelming. I don't like the picture of the farmer on the package. It's an emotional appeal. Say it's organic. Say it's fair traded. Please: no farmers, babies, puppies, etc. Also, the declarations of "vegan, soy free, gluten free, no GMO, no artificial flavors, no emulsifiers" should probably add "no great flavor."
Flavor: On the bitter side without much profile. It's okay, mind you -- I like that it's light on the sugar. But it's not very fruity or nutty or anything.
Texture: Kinda crunchy. That's normal enough for 85%, but.. some manufacturers use black magic or virgin sacrifice or something to inject some creamy consistency. Not here.
My rating: 7, on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. I'd eat this again, because it's not very sweet. But there are lots of other bars I'd go to before.
