Nose
molasses and baking spice first, then kola and lime peel. It smells like a rum-and-cola that was mixed in a kitchen, not a soda fountain.
-
02
Palate
Warm spice over a light cola bitterness. The rum is there as caramel and clove, not as heat. Sweet, but the gentian and chili keep it from reading as cola syrup.

Finish
Nutmeg and a dry kola close.
