Theo Rating: 8 -  "I do like this chocolate. But, I still have to rest on the fact that I like pure dark chocolate. I'll give it an 8."

Theo Rating: 7 - "I agree. This sample was a little too "fruity" for good dark chocolate."

Broma Rating: 8 - "Though this is very, very good, I'm rating it one notch lower than the blueberry sample. They are both good, I prefer the other."

Theo Rating: 7 - "The appearance, aroma and texture were all good for this sample, but I found the dark chocolate taste and the sweetness were below what I prefer."

Broma Rating: 7 - "I like the cocoa content of the sample, but I'm not happy with the fruity taste that is so prevalent. Something about the combination of the Venezuelan and Dominican Republic cocoa beans has introduce this interesting, but not pleasing flavor."
