Welcome to Day #10 of Chocolate and Colombia Theme Week.

Today's 58% Colombia Oat Milk (bar) was from Spinnaker Chocolate (Seattle, WA).

Aroma notes included: chocolate, faint oatmeal raisin cookie, warm spice (cinnamon) and milk/cream.

Texture: smooth, slightly soft break, with almost fully incorporated oat flour texture. There was a slight thick creaminess, and very little graininess (thank you!).

Flavor notes included: chocolate (slightly muted, semi-sweet ganache); faint diffuse fruit (sweet red grape, raisin); faint warm spice; the best dark chocolate oat milkshake ever; and faint oat-ness in a clean, short finish.

I appreciated this well-executed, elegant take on oat milk chocolate--that started with great single origin cacao. Even though the full magic of these cacao beans from Colombia were muffled a bit by the oat flour, some of the lovely complex aroma and flavor shone through. 

To those looking for the best oat milk chocolate available--or putting together a flight of oat milk chocolates--I would definitely place today's bar high on the short list.

Maker's tasting notes: "The amazing Tumaco Colombia beans in a vegan, oat milk bar. Creamy, delicious, and milk-less..."
