It's solid for what it is. If I had to choose between this or another quality budget creme de cacao in Marie Brizard, I would probably lean towards this one. The chocolate flavor is a bit more pronounced here and less syrupy. You do taste the alcohol a bit more as well. However, by far the best creme de cacao is from Tempus Fugit. That one makes this one seem incredibly thin and typically when I'm looking to add creme de cacao to a cocktail I want something rich and not artificial tasting (Marie Brizard is a bit more artificial tasting than Giffard).
