It was a friend's birthday, which seemed like a good excuse to go nuts at 2 Beans. Hint: Anything is a good excuse to go nuts at 2 Beans.
So this is a lot of chocolate, and all of it was good. I didn't try the Domori Javagrey milk bar or the Aeschbach hazelnut bar, but they were probably great, because those companies are great.
Of the other five bars, the lowest percentage was actually my favorite. But that's not really fair -- the Vench 56% has long been my favorite low-percentage (under 60%) dark chocolate bar on the market.
Other than the Venchi, the two Aeschbach bars were expectedly amazing. I especially liked the less fancy, 80% bar, though I am not sure if it is due to the less-fanciness or due to the higher percentage.
The SPAGnVOLA bar, though, was surprisingly excellent. I had never heard of the company before, and they stacked up well with Aeschbach, which were one of my favorite companies from Zurich. Pacari was bringing up the rear this time, likely because it was slightly fruitier than the others, but all four bars come recommended.
Bottom Line: Sometimes you hit the jackpot. Most of those times are at 2 Beans.
