This smells richer and more bitter than Coldcock, but with more earthiness from the coffee. The coffee brings out some interesting spiciness and sort of meatiness too. There are some regular Jagermeister scents, but there's also something that's a tad like enchiladas and/or five spice powder. Does that make any sort of sense? No? Good. The palate has a big spicy coffee hit to it. There is some bitterness to the coffee but spice is the defining characteristic. I get lots of allspice, then cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger. It's sort of like chai. It's tasty, but confusing! There are some other herbal flavors here like the usual Jagermeister licorice, but they fall to the back and the result is actually sweeter and lighter, surprisingly. There is a fair amount of milk chocolate too. I actually like it. It's like a more complex and interesting chai mocha frappucino. It's less rich, sweet, and chocolatey than Kahlua, but more spicy and complex. I think I'll still use Kahlua in my next tiramisu, but if I had a drink calling for a coffee liqueur I would give this a serious consideration. It's interesting and has a lot of personality. The challenging part in rating it is deciding whether the personality is a good thing though at the end of the day we're talking about an herbal liqueur with a good balance and no notes that are clearly bad. As just an herbal liqueur, I think regular Jagermeister is better. The thing here though is that that weird metallic flavor is gone and the end product is lighter and more complex. I'm actually really liking this. Wow, I really expected to be saying that this is just Jagermeister with unnecessary coffee and it's not that great and has no original characteristics. I sure misjudged this outcome. This, Coldcock, and Wild Turkey American Honey have really surprised me. I'm now seeing that this costs more than regular Jagermeister and despite the lower ABV, I do see why. It's quite nice!
