Review and Tasting

Sampled on 01/12/2014

Appearance:

Clear, golden amber with burnished copper.

Aroma:

Clean fragrant dried wormwood with faint dark chocolate.

Slightly sweet, but dry for a liqueur with cleansing wormwood herbal forest floor and delicate milk chocolate.

Aftertaste:

Chocolate all but disappears with long lingering herbal finish.
