My brother sent it from Switzerland, but I believe they sell it here. :-)

I didn't find it all that, umm, edible, but then, I'm not much of a dark chocolate fan!

Um -- our local chocolate addict came to a meeting not too long ago, and for a change, gave away chunks of the bar they had purchased as a meeting snack. It was one of the 90+ percent chocolates, and there was universal agreement that it was too bitter. Turned out that was why the addict gave it away -- he had tried a bite on the way from the store to the meeting and decided it was too bitter for him. Personally, it reminded me of trying cooking chocolate. And I prefer dark chocolates.

It depends on the source. The Lindt 99% dark is bitter but goes well with barbecue-flavored chips. I've had 99% darks from other makers that weren't bitter at all or had the bitterness well balanced with fruity.

It sounds as if I need to try more varieties. Now that's a research project with built-in motivation :-)
