By some strange coincidence, I came across this retailing on A Lot of Chocolate today and Google'd to see if I could find any reviews, and this popped up. After the Milo nuggets and this, I know now to come to this site first to see if you've reviewed the more uncommon chocolate bars I've come across!

Just found this in my local corner shop… felt like we hadn’t done any G&B for ages so I bought it.

Oh, I’ll definitely give it a try – I’m a fan of strong coffee aromas and flavours, so I think this one will be just right for me. Is it available in the shops already, or did you get a sample somewhere?

“Thirding” the plea for anyone to let us know if this is available in Australia! I’ve been longing for an affordable coffee dark chocolate – love the Michel Cluizel but it’s too expensive too buy regularly, and I’ve tried the Lindt Coffee Intense several times but honestly can’t taste any coffee at all (1% coffee, Lindt?!)

I wonder how it compares to Conscious’ superb espresso bar?

Maybe I got a dodgy bar? But all I could taste was dark chocolate :(

GrumpyTart – not sure how you can not think this has an intense coffee flavour. It’s probably the most intense coffee chocolate I’ve had. Just found a couple of other reviews that confirm my opinion.

“A serious coffee kick. Serious.”

I don’t know why you didn’t get that coffee hit, but I stand by my review. :)

I’d disagree with you on the intense coffee flavour. I was actually very disappointed after buying some of this a few weeks back, and won’t be buying it again. G&B get a big fat FAIL from me I’m afraid. Although their Maya Gold is sublime :)

I’m a huge fan on G&B but I’ve not seen this one before! Echoing the above comment and hope these are available in Australia soon.
Heads up to other Aussies – I notice that Woolworths have G&B on special – 2 for $4. I’ll be stocking up on my beloved Maya Gold!
OH! You’re my new favorite blogger fyi
