Quite a name, isn't it?
Smell
This chocolate has a typical intense chocolatey smell. It's sweet and noticeably fruity, which was a little unexpected.
Texture
The bar itself doesn't have much snap to it -- feels like a bar with more fat (cocoa butter) and less cocoa solids. This is a little surprising given the 70% cacao content, but the info on the inside of the wrapper describes why -- And we've included nibs from the inner kernel of the cacao bean, boosting the cacao content to 70%. So the chocolate by itself isn't 70%, but a lower cacao content + nibs = 70%. Interesting, no?
Taste
Medium chocolate flavor, strong cinnamon flavor. There's a noticeable fruity flavor, but I'm not sure where it comes from. It's either a result of the cacao variety, or it's from the cinnamon oil. The cinnamon flavor tastes very fresh and strong -- not like jarred powdered cinnamon. The nibs add a nice crunch to it -- they're little pieces, relatively uniform in size. They add a little flavor, but not much, unless you hold off chewing them until the chocolate has melted! Then they have a nice toasted flavor, but not overly intense.
Overall, the chocolate intensity was a little weak for my taste, but I liked the cinnamon and the crunch of the cacao nibs.
