Notes: A very handy and well laid out little journal/notebook with a number of very useful templates both the usual demographics, but also a color meter and a entry for percentage of cocoa  with a customized flavor wheel  to further document ( in a consistent way) a chocolate.  A useful field note/reference guide to keep track of ones indulgences to avoid any disappointing chocolate for a second time around and a useful reference to use to decide what levels of cocoa are our personal sweet spot as it were. Part of a series ( that I wholly recommend) that includes : 33 Bottles of Beer, 33 Pieces  of Cheese, 33 Cigars Tasting Notebook33 Cups of Coffee33 Drams of Whiskey33 Bottles of Wine, that should allow the diligent if self indulgent to map, graph, record, and document their explorations of these various substances in a precise and consistent way for themselves and for posterity – or at least their next of kin

Final Thoughts: A well made and useful journal/research notebook for less than the cost of a bar of decent chocolate. Helps map out your preferences for further indulgence and exploration
