I pick up pine needles, echinacea, anise, (very) dark chocolate, bitter espresso, and a deep, almost forbidden sweetness, maybe of (burnt) orange peel. It starts very strong and overly pungent, but when you keep drinking, your palette will adapt to the strength and the flavors will start to unravel. Overall, its quite bitter and not for the faint of heart. But given a chance, it has a lot to offer.
