The very first Fruition bar I ever had was their brown butter bar at the NW Chocolate Festival in Seatle, and it was so good! I was pleased to try this Maranon bar as part of learning about the tastes of the Nacional cocoa bean. Nuttiness is a characteristic that is often part of bars made from the Nacional bean.
Color: Medium/dark brown.
Nose: Cocoa powder, almonds.
Texture: Smooth, creamy.
Taste: Coffee, slight taste of walnuts, some cream, black tea, herbaceous, a little bitterness, and aged Burgundy wine (no cherries).
Finish: Tannic, oak,touch of char at the end, medium finish.
This bar makes me want a glass of wine! I hope Fruition is at the NW Chocolate Festival again this year, so I can explore more of their bars.

I can not go a single day without chocolate. It's tough to go a few hours without it!
How often do you eat chocolate?
