Surprisingly good, I would have rated it a 4 by myself, but family members were more effusive in their praise, so I'll give it a 5. Very dark appearance, strong baking spice flavors, The essence is kola meets baking spice, meets orange. Intense and palatable flavor with a dark hue, not base-spirit-forward, allowing the Averna to shine.
