Bourbon Cask Aged Trio

The most unusual chocolate I have ever tasted.I just love this unique taste of its aging process. Delicate and strong at the same time. Smooth and creamy. The sugar content is just right. It is a little higher in price for some other good, organic brands but depending on the way it is produced and how it is processed, I have seen quality chocolates about the same price and they are not organic.

I had a similar experience as the previous reviewer. There's a definite dryness in the aftertaste akin to alcohol and yet it's still sweeter in the beginning than I'd have guessed. The bourbon lives in here as an essence in the mouth more than a flavor on the tongue. I dig it. It's less rich & creamy to me than many of Raaka's other flavors; I'd go to it more for an intriguing taste experience and to another flavor to satisfy a dessert craving.

delicious chocolate!

Pros: Great business practices, Organic, Vegan, Soy Free, 82% Cacao, Hint of smokey finish which is presumably the cask? Cons: Were it not for the Pros listed above, I'd give this bar only 2 stars, for taste/mouth feel. This Bourbon Cask Aged Chocolate bar has a very hard consistency, compared to others sampled in a chocolate taste test. It doesn't melt quickly in the mouth and biting into a piece isn't nearly as pleasant as with a softer bar. The bar isn't scored so is not easily divided into portion sizes, or pieces for sharing. I might still try some of the other flavors, due to the (self-reported) exemplary business practices. But I wouldn't likely purchase this one again.

The chocolate had good flavor. A bit bitter and smoky, which is what I expected. They arrived in excellent condition.I rank it a 4 versus a 5 as it isn't a product I like enough to order again. But it's personal preference! If you enjoy dark chocolate and you are reading this, I encourage you to try it.

I only get raw cause of the health benefits and this is definitely my go-to chocolate on here. It's not at all bitter, unlike some other brands at this level of darkness. (One interesting thing I noticed is that the 75% is actually more raw than this one, perhaps because of the nibs.)

Very tasty. All bars arrived in good condition

I bought it for an 82% chocolate lover. I like dark chocolate as well and Arnold’s a bar. The texture is really chalky and crumbly. Maybe because it is unroasted beans? Not good at all. Try Trader Joe’s organic 82%.
