N: It says it's an imitation chocolate liqueur, but it doesn't really smell like it. I get a big noseful of milk mixed with milk chocolate, possibly crossed with some Swiss Miss made in 2% milk at double strength. It smells simple, but good. There's no weird alcohol or banana or anything like that going on here.
P: Sweet with chocolate and milk. I tastes more like Swiss Miss than I'd expected from the nose as the sweetness is far more intense and a little bit of banana does come out, along with cereal that makes me think kind of of the milk left over from Cocoa Puffs and a bit of fairly neutral alcohol. It isn't bad, but it isn't that nostalgic trip with a slight improvement that I was hoping for so much as one that reminds me why I had bad tastes as a kid. I can't say that I'm enjoying drinking this. It's mainly quite sweet and not all that rich.
F: Sugar, cereal, sweetened milk and light chocolate linger. Essentially, Cocoa Puff milk, possibly with a dash of extra mineral showing through. Not a bad finish, but not a very good one either.
I'm pretty disappointed. This isn't bad, but I definitely recalled it being better than it actually is. Despite being light with a bit of mineral, the flavor is at least clean, so it's no lower than a 9. Still, I can't imagine going past a 12. I think it's probably a hair closer to the 11 bucket than the 10 bucket, so I'm going with that. There's a substantial gap in quality between this an Godiva Chocolate though.
