I did suspect the liquor but it didn't come across as dark/dark to me. It's not like I am a dark chocolate expert, but I do enjoy it in general (though I guess I prefer more generic hershey's dark chocolate to that of say those six dollar dark chocolate bars). Funny how times change.Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-86315471896437940682018-05-21T10:02:18.163-04:002018-05-21T10:02:18.163-04:00Thanks for the great review!

I've been reading your reviews since the beginning and really appreciate the time you put in.<br /><br />I think I know why you didn't enjoy the taste of the chocolate. First of all, there is no alcohol in chocolate liquor. <br /><br />Chocolate liquor is simply what gives chocolate its flavor intensity. Chocolate liquor is also called unsweetened baking chocolate, so it's used to give a dark chocolate flavor. Dark chocolate seemed to be more popular in the 1970's, while milk chocolate reigned supreme in the '80s. I can see from the label that chocolate liquor is a predominant ingredient in the base and they used dark chocolate chips, so the ice cream has more of that dark chocolate flavor. <br /><br />The heavenly hash and rocky road you had in the '80s probably had more of a milk chocolate flavor, which means less chocolate liquor and more milk and sugar. Since this is clearly a dark chocolate ice cream, it's no wonder that it doesn't fulfill your expectations or your memories.<br /><br />Hope that helps. Please keep up the great work!Traceynoreply@blogger.com
