Review and Tasting

Sampled on 09/07/2026

Appearance:

Slight haze, deep chocolate brown.

Aroma:

Dark chocolate, coffee, freshly roasted cocoa nibs, vanilla and caramel. (Subdued when compared to the more toasty roasted bean notes of our control coffee liqueur.)

Taste:

Pleasing light roast coffee with layers of dark cacao, caramel and vanilla fudge with gentle acidity.

Aftertaste:

Long chocolaty finish with lingering cacao.

Overall:

Mellow and subdued when compared to other, more assertive coffee liqueurs. While Norse Code Hel may not be the right choice for your cocktails, it is an easy-drinking, flavoursome standalone liqueur. Like comparing a Starbucks espresso to a Panama Geisha pour-over.
