  • Next time use a less assertive coffee liqueur than Galliano. Rye spice and dark fruit from the Cognac/PX. Milk chocolate gestalt. Good, but less interesting than the ingredients imply. Try again with a better fit for the coff

I enjoyed this as an after dinner sipper. Some dilution from the ice is good.

I agree with a previous commenter, I found this a bit less interesting than the ingredients might suggest (and these ingredients are right in my wheelhouse).  In fairness I used Bittermens mole bitters instead of the Aphrodite, but they're reasonably close.  And while no brand was specified for the coffee liqueur, I used St. George's NOLA coffee liqueur.

I also found it to have a vague milk chocolate note but to otherwise be a pretty standard split base old fashioned, and I wasn't really able to pull apart the individual flavor strings of the various modifiers like I had hoped.  It was certainly pleasant, balanced and eminently drinkable, if not particularly memorable.
