I’ll admit to having some favoritism for Lindt over the other euro brands thanks to a student exchange trip to France as a kid. The mother of my French host family discovered my love for all things chocolaty within an hour of my arrival and made it her mission to turn me into Üter. There were chocolate rice krispies, homemade real hot chocolate, nutella and box after box of the incredible Champs Elysées by Lindt. I was in luck, she worked at Lindt and endlessly supplied me with kilograms of the stuff. Sure, I ate other things, all of which were delicious with the exception of a traditional meal of inedible lard in weird sauce (who likes lard?!), but the sweets were the most memorable.
Back to that super flavorful bar or 99% pure caca-oh. It tastes like black crap. Not that I know what brown or corny crap tastes like, but this stuff is so vial and bitter that it turns me off the taste of cocoa. I can’t imagine the people at Lindt tried it before selling this asinine product. I tried it again just now (for effect), and tears stained my cheeks. BARF! Non, mais vraiment, je pense que mon lunch remonte.
Beware:

99% is an insane cocoa amount, and is obviously going to taste like crap. It's got no sweetness, and all of the bitterness. It's really meant for people who want the maximum possible heart-health benefits from the chocolate, not for people looking to enjoy it.
My personal favourite dark chocolate is the 70% Cote D'Or. Now that stuff is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet.
Now you're telling me about a good dark chocolate Count CoCo? Next time I'll think with my head and not my heart.
I have 70% of that 99% crapa cocoa bar, can you use that to make coopcakes or that won't be 85% disgusting? I'm serious. It's all yours if you want it.
