Nice vanilla scent with a floral & allspice hint. Smooth and slightly oily with a sort of thickness to it. Tastes of vanilla and spice. Dried plum and something else...dark raisin?...near the finish and lingering in taste, reminding me of exotic tropical fruit. Floral and allspice after-taste. Good coloration, similar to A&W Root Beer but with more brown. My wife -- who is from Trinidad -- really likes this with Pepsi. It does go well as a mixer. This is a good sipper! Rating is based on neat sipping.
