... everyone who said I would choose the Guinness Bar next! I'm going in reverse order of what I think I'll actually like best, my thought being to save the best for last!
The Guinness Chocolate smelled normal (no beer scent - yay!). It was, however, a bit gritty and did not melt well in the mouth. Overall the flavor was just okay. Well, until you got to the aftertaste! I did not taste any beer flavor while the chocolate was still on my tongue, but once swallowed, the aftertaste was quite strange.
I rate this one a 4 out of 10. Please note that on my rating scale, if it isn't at least a 6 or 7, it isn't worth the calories involved!
On another note, I really think Sarah bought the Grouse and Guinness bars knowing full well that I would pass the remainder of the bar back to her! Which is fine by me.
I'm thinking based on all the positive recommendations that the Green & Black's bar may have to be saved for the very last! :)

Hee hee, sounds like your daughter had a good plan then Cheri. Hope the Green & Blacks gets a better score! Sue
I am lovely this chocolate research you're carrying out at the moment, I get to imagine the flavours without adding pounds :) Looking forward to tomorrows flavour
I think I would like the Grouse one but I am not sure about Guinness.
It's such fun joining in your European choccy tasting sessions! Can't wait to see what your fave will be, I predict the Green and Black!
The Green and Black probably wouldn't be my favourite [unless it was their mint one]....but if you like very dark choc....then it'll be for you!!!
Catching up on some blog reading today - all that chocolate looks so Good!!! And beautiful roses - very unique. Wish I could have tried one of those strawberries - yum!
I tried a dark chocolate that was actually too dark for me. Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate. I can't eat it, it tastes much like the unsweetened chocolate you use for baking. Boy is it strong!
Can't wait to see what's next.
Hhhmmmmm - doesn't appeal to me either ... we are fans of Belgian chocolate in this house ... Cote d'Or if ever your DD makes it back to Europe.
Out of all the bars you received I only had one, so I'm interested in your research. :) I don't like "booze" in my chocolate, so I think I would be right with you on your rating.
We can get Guinness flavoured ice cream here, I don't know what you would think of but we like it :)
