getting a crappy drink.

”However what’s contained in the bottle?”, you ask?
A really, very darkish mahogany liquid. Appears unusual that it could

likely colouring caramel. I’m simply being a douche about it).

Okay, so with scents already so thick and cloying that I’m
reluctant to scent it once more, I ponder what it would style like. Oh geez … right here
goes nothing. If I’m not again in 5 minutes, please name the paramedics (and my
dentist).

One of many worst drinks I’ve ever had.
No depth, nothing attention-grabbing. Only a doctored bucket of yuck.

Fortunately it isn’t extensively out there anymore, so hopefully it
is a closed chapter and Don Papa is completed robbing individuals of €50 a bottle (I
truly discovered references which confirmed a value of €70-80 – insane).
