First if all the packaging is a treat in itself. And when you open it the aroma is decedent. The chocolate flavor hits first, a slight spice and then and an aftertaste layered with many different flavors. This can be sipped. (And perhaps should be with its 13%.) Good with ice cream too. Also would probably be an interesting ingredient in a lot of dishes!

a lot of spices in this one, I wish I waited til closer to holiday season to drink it
