I'm going to tell you this and you're going to think that I'm just being a crank but...this stuff literally tastes like smoked and spiced bile or a heartburny burp that comes up a small puddle in the back of your throat. A sweet toxic vomit with a cinnamalty shroud about it that makes it semi-drinkable. I suppose it's more smoky than cinnamony but coupled with the sweetness it comes across that way. I'm lukewarm on bocks in general but this twin toppling of my tastebuds is simply no good sirs and sirettes. This is one of Bell's fews misses and it's off the charts.
