Tonight for dessert I'm digging into my Christmas presents.
Spicy Dark Bar by Drake's Glen Creations of Humboldt County, California. I have paired the bar with a shot of Bulleit Bourbon, neat.
Drake's Glen is an artisan chocolatier, distributing their numerous treats around Humboldt County and online. I was given three of their bars for Christmas, and being a lover of dark chocolate, I went straight for the richest bar.
If the gold foil wrapper is a symbol of riches, the drake is right to guard this hoard. Spicy Dark has 72% cocoa solids, and is seeded with tiny pieces of crystallized ginger. The chocolate is smooth and dry, right in my sweet spot of taste. I have a very modest relationship with ginger, but the ginger here gives just a hint of spice and citrus to keep you from succumbing completely to the darkness. I do recommend taking a chaser of your preference, to get the full impact of each bite.
I plan to give the two milk chocolate bars their due very soon. One has cranberries and almonds!
