Uniconf 80% kakao

                                   

About: This is a Russian made chocolate, from a large manufacturer with a history going back to 1804.  According to them, they are "the largest confectionery Holding in the Eastern Europe and the leader on the Russian confectionary[sic] market." It's confectionery, but I couldn't even read their logo, so I should shup.

Flavor:  It's hard to explain what's different about this chocolate. It has a warm, coffee-ish, earthy flavor that I've not had before. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it's different. It's not a fruity chocolate, but it does have a full flavor.

Texture: Somewhat brittle. Somewhat slightly chalky. Not excited by the texture.

My rating:  A 5 for interesting flavor but loss of points for texture. 

Rating Value	Meaning
1	Really bad chocolate. There's something just really really wrong here in almost every imaginable respect.
2	A bar with this rating has at least two drawbacks.
3	A bar where something is starting to get seriously wrong.... for example, really weak flavor with an otherwise acceptable texture.
4	This bar is below average, but just slightly. Mostly it's not worth eating again. Something isn't quite up to par, for example a poor texture but fine flavor.
5	This is an average good bar that's worth eating. There's nothing really wrong with it, but also nothing particularly spectacular. Or, perhaps it has a good characteristic that's evenly counter-weighted by something weak.
6	A solidly good bar with one characteristic that's above par, for example a great texture.
7	An solidly good chocolate that has two above par characteristics, but nothing mind-blowing. Good, above average flavor, but nothing to die for.
8	An excellent bar with no weaknesses and at least one characteristic that's super.
9	An awesome bar to die for with amazing texture and flavor.
10	You have been touched by God.
