About: I don't like Godiva chocolate. It's always been my impression that they were trying to leverage their Belgian-ness into market success with sub-par chocolate. The company owns many shops and a pretty massive distribution network that tries to look high-end. They seem to also be trying to (use law suits to) corner the market on the use of the Godiva name, which is based on a legend involving taxation, a young woman, a horse, and nudity. Godiva chocolates should probably should just say neigh and walk away from that potential fiasco.
I had hopes that perhaps this high-cocoa content chocolate would be better than my random encounters with Godiva boxed chocolates I've been offered while visiting aged relatives who thought they were getting the good stuff. But no.
Flavor: The flavor is acidic and sour. The bar is the right level of sweetness for my taste, but .. did I say sour? The aftertaste is acerbic, too. There isn't much of a flavor profile here, and while it's okay - I wouldn't spit it out, I also wouldn't bother with it again.You can wait a long time for the flavor to change from "waxy" to "still waxy" to "oh.. yeah.. chocolate" to "oh sour"...
Texture: Well, it's not crunchy brittle, but it's not particularly anything. Sort of middle of the road okay.
My rating: 5.0, on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. The texture is auspicious, and the flavor is good, but not stellar.
