Flavor Notes
**Chocolate (VSO) 2.75% / 4.0% (5-30-22)** -- Let me tell you about some of the aspects of BAD Chocolates that I've had. Bitter, coil gunking, band aids, and Tootsie Rolls. Great news is, there are NONE of those here !!!! The first thing that I always check for with choco's is how dark they are, and in prep for the coil gunk. This one had [barely any color](https://i.imgur.com/eTda8AL.png), and was almost clear. I tested this one at 2.75% and 4.0% to see what shifted, if anything. At both weights I got a good chocolate, that was somewhere in between a milk choco, and a mid-dark choco. Increasing to 4% it darkened up a tick or two, and got slightly fuller. Satisfying, with no bitterness at either weight, and it had an almost touch of a bakery note, almost like TPA Graham Cracker Clear, but ever so slightly. I tasted that throughout all of the testers, and it actually just plain worked. After I tasted that note, I immediately wanted to rush ahead to Shane's Graham Cracker, as I can already see THIS chocolate in my next S'mores. This was a great chocolate, and one that you could shift, by using at different rates to get more of a lighter chocolate at lower rates, and a mid-darker chocolate at higher rates. Sweetness was surprisingly lower than mid level, and at both testing weights, I couldn't find any off notes, band aids, or tootsie rolls. It was interesting to see this one shift when moving from lower to higher mixing rates, and that will def. open up it's uses. Easily a **9.5/10**.
