I hear that this is just Kahlúa improved, a lot like the old style. It sounds like just what I need in my life, so let's find out!
N: Disappointing start here since there isn't much going on. There's a little bit of cola and licorice, a bit reminiscent of Jagermeister, but not too strong. or complex. A hint of mushroom perhaps as well, but it's difficult to pick much out here.
P: Less viscous than regular Kalúa, but a stronger, more biting alcohol presence. There's less sugar so it's more bitter. It doesn't taste particularly roasty or spicy though. There's some chocolate, but it comes with some slightly salty black licorice. It's disappointingly uncomplex. I do taste suggestions of the rum with caramel and bitterness, but they don't taste like very good rum or have any real complexity. With the weird rum, alcohol, and coffee flavors, this oddly picks up a little bit of a tequila vibe.
F: Some cola lingers along with some coffee and chocolate. The heat takes some time to fade as well. I don't get that same confectioner's sugar chalkiness as I do with regular Kahlúa.
It certainly isn't awful, but I sadly do think I prefer regular Kahlúa by a tick. With regular Kahlúa being an 11, this is more like a 9 to 10. I'll give it the 10, but I'm not a fan.
