Nose: Sugar, burnt molasses, tootsie pop, cocoa, oak

Taste: Thin, but no heat. Sweet honey, toffee, caramel, artificial sugar, graham cracker, cocoa.

Finish: Short, no heat. Really sweet – loaded with amaretto, syrup, cocoa, caramel and toffee.

Overall: Definitely dosed and colored and sweetened but far from the worst offender I have seen. This isn’t half bad, but I don’t know if I’d drink more than a little at a time.

Thanks for reading!
