Brown black color. Aromas and flavors of medium French roast, dark cocoa nibs, caramel, and mole with a round, vibrant, off-dry medium body and a tingling, amusing, medium-length finish that shows nuances of blond coffee, mocha, cocoa nibs, and carob and palo santo. Coffee leads on the nose and palate but the added complexity comes from a sweet mole sauce quality that is quite nice.

Coffee liqueurs, made with coffee and alcohol, are some of the most popular liqueurs in the world. Producers in countries around the world craft versions, from Ireland to Italy to Mexico. A basic type is creme de cacao, made from the extract of cocoa beans, while others coffee liqueurs are famed as particular brand names. Alcoholic content ranges from 18% to 30%.

Coffee liqueurs can be served hot or cold, neat or over ice or served with cola or, of course, coffee. They also serve as the base for famous cocktails such as a White or Black Russian.
