El Rey Apamate 73.5% cacao - Made in Venezuela

This chocolate has a smoky, chocolaty aroma with a dull brown appearance. The snap is soft and the gradient is clean and with a few airholes. It has a effortless melt and a grainy, chalky texture but the flavor makes up for that. It is a well balanced chocolate with a nutty, loamy and fresh flavor. One of the tasters said it reminded him of malted milk balls. It has an interesting taste to it and the aftertaste is no different. It is pleasant and tangy. This is a good chocolate and gets a rating of 7.1 out of 10.
