Review
Sweet fruity nose. Very sweet, burnt sugar lead, followed by slight bubble burn. Very slight wintergreen aftertaste, just traces of it around the edges of the burnt sugar taste. Slight tongue-numbing from the bubbles. A very rich burnt sugar taste, much like Mr. Fizz. Quite pleasant, but not a whole lot of rootiness happening here.
