The first thing that you will notice is the more than generous amount of cocoa powder encapsulating each individual piece. Do not lean in too far, however tempting it may be, you'll end up snorting cocoa powder. Not pleasant.
Now pick up a piece, gently place it in your mouth. Not the whole thing! Bite down slowly - taste how the bitter cocoa powder gives way to the sweet chocolate. You will not detect any hint of acidity that often accompanies bittersweet chocolate. Rather, your palate will notice the subtle background taste of liqueur and how it rounds up the bitterness and sweetness of that heavenly bite.
And with this act of biting down - you will notice that this is not your typical 'hard' chocolate, rather it has a more truffle-like texture. You know, that pleasant get-in-between-your teeth sort of texture?
Before long, that piece will be gone and you will be left with a pleasant aftertaste and an even better feeling of euphoria that is so characteristic of post-chocolate consumption.
There are only two downsides to have tried Royce' Chocolates.
For one, you will find yourself lacking even the most basic of self control. And two, now that you've had the best, good luck going back to Cadbury.
