Where Bought: Foods For Living
Bitter-sharp aroma, very dry-dark.
Texture is rather like a truffle, chocolate shell over soft filling. The "nougat" is gritty -- not unpleasantly so, but odd.
First taste impression is almost unsweetened dark chocolate and unsweetened espresso. Sweetness increases after a couple of bites, and becomes almost sugary -- not sure if the grittiness is ground coffee or sugar crystals. Seemed light at first, but a few bites in the cumulative effect is very dense and filling.
Overall: Not sure. It's not bad, but between the grittiness and the odd sweet/not-sweet imbalance, I'm not sure it's something I need to seek out more of.
