How dark is too dark?

>>8534974
For me? 85%

i ate a 100% cocoa bakers bar before it was good

>>8534974
any amount desu

Where the fuck to find above 95%? I found 99% once but I can't remember where and I want some more.

>>8534974
ive had 93%, and it wasnt bitter to the point of being bad
it actually had a nice flavor, 100% cocoa isnt probably too bad. its bitterness seems to be overrated

>>8535000
We have Lindt stores in my area and that's the only place I know of that has 99%

>>8534986
This is a fucking lie. Check my digits.

Id say about 80% maybe 85% even and i wanted to have some bittery taste in my mouth purposely

Depends on desperation for chocolate. Beyond ~60 the texture goes to shit.

I think the mistake people make with really dark chocolate is eating it like milk chocolate instead of letting it melt on their tongues. I didn't like dark chocolate until I started eating it the proper way. If someone told me I was eating chocolate wrong, I would have called them a faggot and told them to kill themselves. Turns out I was the faggot eating dark chocolate wrong tho...

>>8534974
99%.
I prefer sweet chocolate to have at least some sugar. *tips*

>>8534974
anything past 100%

>>8534974

That right there is actually pretty good. I tried their 85% and there was something weird about it, I can't really articulate what it was exactly. Then I tried the 90% and it was actually better.

If you added cocoa powder to unsweetened tempered chocolate could you really achieve Beyond/Over 100% Chocolate?

>>8535161
No

>>8534974

If you still want milk chocolate vibes then 60%.
Otherwise, 100% is fine.

This is going to sound pretentious as fuck, but that stuff is actually really good with a coffee after dinner to cleanse the palate if you are planing on having a whisky / whatever afterwards.

Hi I like white chocolate.

>>8534986
it's not 100% cocoa. it wouldn't hold together very well.

the baker's bar is just unsweetened. the "100%" refers to it being 100% natural.

>>8534974
Depends on your tastes idiot make up your own mind

For me, it's the 85%.

Anything higher than 60% is shit.

>>8534974
Anything above 80% belongs in a hot milk

85% and 90% taste bad. It's like they try to subdue the bitterness but it just ends up tasting sour with an unpleasant aftertaste.

99% fully embraces the bitterness. But the problem is that you only get 50g for the same price.

>>8535434
those chocolate are great as a side treat with a cup of coffee. not for snaking that's sure.

50-60% is good, it's not that sweet but not tryhard bitter either.

I've got 72%. I should probably masturbate into my own semen at this point.

>>8534974
85% is the limit of palatable

Anything past that is masochism

Dark chocolate is absolutely delicious, bitter and sweet in just the right proportions

Some people are children and can't handle anything that isn't sickly sweet I guess

It can't become too dark

>>8535536
stop sounding like you're on masterchef kek. The way you described it doesn't sound right.

you think the bitter and sweet is proportionate? the bitter is 99%

>>8535111
>people exist that hork down chocolate before letting it melt in their mouths

Gross

>>8534974
i like eating 60-70 with milk
anything higher and it starts to not taste like chocolate

>>8535434
I have never seen those packages before, I used to buy 99% chocolate in a tiny bag, the individual pieces were covered individually inside the bag... it was expensive as hell back then.

I can't find it anywhere now, and I used to eat one with a cup of coffee.... I love the bitterness and aftertaste of it.

>This is going to sound pretentious as fuck
Have you ever gone to a café ? They always give you a little piece of black chocolate to go with coffee. It's not "pretentious as fuck", it's what every non-savage does

>>8535263
100% =/= 100% cocoa powder
Cocoa percentage includes cocoa butter.

70.

All in all I find dark chocolate nasty despite loving bitter things. Perhaps I just only ate shit tiered chocolate, or maybe dark chocolate in general is shit and people who like it are deluded?
I don't know, I just know above 70 is vomit inducing for me.

>>8534974
I have that same Lindt bar right now at 90% and 85%.
To me a dark bar such as that is extremely rich. It takes me just a few squares to satisfy me. And they're also great for melting down into a rich chocolate.

If I want a guilty pleasure dark chocolate I can tear through in one sitting though, 65-80%

Kek.

Had 99% while in another country and it tasted like pure dirt. Our group ended up using it as punishment for some card game we were playing.

>>8534986
Baker's bars are only ~60% ya dingus

I love how everyone here pretends to enjoy dark chocolate just to seem sophisticated.

You have to chew the fuck out of it to get past the bitterness. Then it starts tasting like dark fruits

>>8535589

I don't eat out of enjoyment. The only time I eat chocolate is when it's given to me. I scarf everything down. I love to cook, I love seeing the enjoyment other people get from my cooking, but I am content eating a cold can of beans and a boiled egg. One good thing is it's really hard to get fat when you don't get pleasure from eating...

85% is the optimal %

Ate 99% Lindt... tastes like cocoa powder.

anyone can work themselves up the scale. a year or two ago 85% was really chalky to me, but i had some this week, same bar, and i thought it was perfect.

For me? It's the McChicken, the best chicken sandwich.

I think I tried some 95% and thought it was not really edible. Then I also tried 90% or 85% and thought those were delicious. I really doubt the 5% made that difference so it really depends on what's put into the rest percentage.

>>8543942
>the 5%
lrn2 math, the non-chocolate elements (sugar, milk solids) are increased by 200-300% in the other two examples. it very much does "make that difference".

Depends how I'm feeling, and what I'm doing with the chocolate.

If I'm eating a piece of chocolate to liaise between a sweet creamy dessert and a dry red wine, the darker the better - 85%+

If I'm snorkling down chocolate for the hell of it, 75%'s perfect.

93 is as high as I go.

Anything above 80% is more of a "pairing" thing than just eating it. I'm a chocolate connesuer
