About: Damyel is based in Paris and makes a range of confections, including spreads, bars, candied nuts, and macaroons (hey.. it's France). This bar appears to be the darkest they go, which from my perspective explains the sound of screeching tires and breaking glass. Not so interesting.
Flavor:Well.. at 56% this bar is (to my taste) cloyingly sweet. But looking past that, the chocolate flavor is actually pleasantly rich. Earthy without bitterness or a burned flavor. It has raisin overtones (whatever those are), and I'd jump at a bar with higher cocoa content from these guys.
Texture:Smooth and fine. Not something that will blow your mind with creamy goodness, but fine.
My rating: It's to see... er... taste past the sugar here. 6 for texture. 7 for flavor. 7 overall.
| 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. |
