I was completely startled by what this was on my first drink of it; because of the sharp contrast to what I had expected I was not immediately a fan. Lucky I have the whole bottle to get through and each time I drink it, I confirm more and more what this is.....is a dessert in a cup. The rich, creamy, spices and nearly overbearing sweetness is VERY good if that's what you're looking for. This is definitely one of my prized bottles now that I feel like I can actually appreciate it for what it is.
