Cocoa Content: 81%

Purchased @: Chocolopolis - Seattle

Theo Rating: 4 - "I didn't like this sample at all !"

Broma Rating: 5 - "I didn't really like the flavor of this sample at all. After reading the label in more detail I now know why: "We add a minimum amount of sugar so that the cherry and tobacco flavors can be appreciated." I am not interested, at all, in a tobacco flavor!"

Theo Rating: 6 - "I found this chocolate better than #70. The aroma was about the same, but the taste was better; not exceptional, but  a good dark chocolate."

Broma Rating: 6 - "An interestingly/strange side or after-taste negatively effects this otherwise fine dark  chocolate. I like its smoothness, the cocoa level and the sweetness. Its hard to put in to words the problem I have with this sample."

Cocoa Content: 70%

Purchased @: Front Street Market (Issaquah)

Theo Rating: 8 - "I love the aroma of each piece before eating it. In the mouth it is very good, but not as good as Newman's Own Organics  Dark Chocolate"

Broma Rating: 8 - "The cocoa content of this Dark Choc is apparent from the beginning! Almost overwhelming, but after the shock, it is a very pleasing taste."

Theo Rating: 10 - "Yes, I liked the texture, bouquet and dark chocolate-sweetness balance in this sample, so a 10 for me too."

Broma Rating: 10 - "How interesting to note that on the 17th of March, Theo noticed that this is a "product of Ireland"!   This dark chocolate from Butlers is also a "10" !!"
