Purchased @: QFC

Theo Rating: 8 - "The high cacao content verged on the bitter. I would have preferred a sweeter taste. However, the dark chocolate flavor was excellent."

Broma Rating: 9 - "The marketing statement on the back of the packaging states, "one bite is enough to knock your socks off . . . ." - I have to agree! For a high-percentage sample, this one is very pleasing. "

Evaluation Date: August 2016

Cocoa Content: 85%

Purchased @: Germany (thanks to Bruno!)

Theo Rating: 9 - "I loved everything about this sample but the sweetness. If it had been a tad sweeter for me, I would have given it a 10"

Broma Rating: 10 - "OK, the previous sample (from Germany) inspired me to create a new "Uber Dark" category. This one is not only in that category, it is a "10" !!  Just the right balance of cocoa content, texture and sweetness."

Theo Rating: 2 - "The aroma was wonderful! However, without any sweetness, this dark chocolate was TOO bitter."

Broma Rating: 2 - "I can only recommend this d-d-d-d-dark-choc  to those who are doing a science experiment. It certainly addresses your curiosity, but that's about all. We did evaluate this brand in a 75% content previously."
