Good stuff! Its not too sweet but sweet enough for my drinks. Personally, I prefer less sugar in my cocktails than most recipes call for, and I add more to taste. Mr. Black has the dark, roasted chocolatey flavors of a 12-hour cold brew, my favorite brew method. You can taste the vodka too, but it blends well with the coffee flavors. Despite the 25% ABV, I can still feel the caffeine in this. Its becoming one of my favorite ingredients. So far, I've tried it on the rocks, White Russian, Black Russian, and a Revolver. The revolver is my preferred way to drink this, especially with a rye or high-rye bourbon. Its also great in milk and in milkshakes too. Honestly, I can't get enough of this stuff.
