How this will all work for the next 30
reviews or so, I will be posting reviews from chocolates I have been
taking notes on for over a year. Certain chocolates I have have bin
numbers on them, but they were reviewed when received. Each review will
explain where they came from and around the time they were reviewed.
There will also be a Grading Scale for each review. A standard A-F scale but with a little bit of a twist. There will be five categories that can earn a maximum of 100 points.
Appearance
Aroma
Snap
Texture
Taste
The average total of all five scores will be tallied up to give a final score. The totals will be reflected with a letter grade.
A+ 98-100
A 95-97
A- 93-94
B+ 90-92
B 87-89
B- 85-86
C+ 82-84
C 79-81
C- 77-78
D+ 74-76
D 72-73
D- 70-71
F 0-69
Standard high school grading system.
A note for the readers. Taste is a subjective thing. What I might like or notes I taste in chocolate maybe completely different from you. Everyone has a unique and individual palate. It's best to remember that when imbibing on glorious things such as chocolate. The point is, there are no right or wrong answer when it comes to individual tastes. There are big generalizations about specific regions, but each palate has a number of reasons or variances which may drastically change the way one person smells or tastes something compared to another.
