Chocolate Liqueurs — Austria

I tried this liqueur five years ago and gave it a scathing review here (see below). However Mrs Cascode was recently gifted a 4-pack of Mozart liqueurs, of which this was one. We decided to give it a try again and we were very pleasantly surprised at how much better it was this time.
The appearance is the same, just like a strawberry milkshake, and the aroma is similarly reminiscent. It was in the flavour that it was such a different experience.
This time round it was much more in line with the aroma and appearance. The flavour was less intense and it was very like strawberry flavoured white chocolate. We still feel that Mozart Gold is the peak of the company’s products, but this Strawberry liqueur has shot up several points in our estimation and I’m revising my rating to put it just ahead of the Mozart White Chocolate liqueur.
“Average” : 79/100 (2.75 stars)

Review from April 4, 2019
Appearance: Exactly like pink-coloured strawberry milk. Also disconcertingly like Gaviscon [a milky indigestion mixture that is just this particular shade of pink].
Aroma: A mild synthetic strawberry aroma. Again, it basically smells "pink".
Flavour and Texture: Initially, in the front of the mouth, it seems to be just a mild and sweet viscous liquid, rather like you'd imagine a pink Bailey's might be. Then it hits the tongue and develops a bright synthetic cherry flavour that is uncomfortably familiar. Mrs Cascode and I tasted this together - we took one sip, looked at each other in shock and simultaneously said "Benedryl!". That particular synthetic cherry cough syrup flavour is unmistakable.
Horrible muck. This stuff is the nightmare that enthusiasts of hard spirits suspect all creamy liqueurs will be - in this case, the nightmare is real. We literally poured the rest down the sink.
Strangely, the Mozart Chocolate Liqueur we tried previously (and which prompted us to try this) was delightful.
"Very Poor" : 55/100 (0.5 stars)
