The Vosges Super Dark Reishi Mushroom & Walnut bar is comprised of dark chocolate with small pieces of walnuts and reishi mushrooms. The bar has sleek, black packaging. However, the chocolate has bloom on the bottom of the bar.
Flavor and Taste - 6.8
The chocolate bar has a strong dark chocolate flavor and also tastes salty and umami. The walnuts do not contribute to the flavor, and the reishi mushrooms only provide the umami taste.
C: Doesn't have a very strong mushroom taste. Mostly just chocolate. Has a warm, savory taste. Umami/MSG is very prevalent.
L: Savory note on back of tongue. Zero sweetness, but good.
Texture - 5.5
The chocolate has tiny crispy pieces.
C: The chocolate is a little dry and gritty.
L: Gritty.
Aftertaste - 5.3
The aftertaste is mainly salty, umami, and to a lesser extent bitter.
C: Mostly just tastes like chocolate.
Overall - 6.2
Overall, the Vosges Super Dark Reishi Mushroom & Walnut bar is good, but not worth its original price of $6.99. If the texture had been improved and there was more flavor from the walnuts and mushrooms, the chocolate bar would have been more enticing.
