Opinions land all over the map on this one, and the sweetness is why. It pours sweet and nutty — roasted almonds, hazelnut, ripe plums, a dusting of clove and cinnamon over soft wood. Fans of the A.H. Riise house style get exactly what they came for; one taster shrugged it off as tasting like hazelnut liqueur. The alcohol pushes through a touch harder than 44.4% suggests.

AH Riise's usual sweetness meets here notes of tropical fruit, ripe plums and roasted almonds.

Gifted to friends because they love it. To me, it tastes like a hazelnut liqueur. Artificial sweetness, nut aromas and various spices can be tasted from nose to finish in varying intensity.
Review by Scotty1960
Tastes like plums, strong in the finish. Not too sweet and the alcohol comes through stronger than the stated 44.4%.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Riise base with little bit sour taste.
Review by MJ72
The 5th edition is successful. Some alcohol, fruit and heavy sweetness dominate the nose. Fruit and spice (tropical and vanilla) remain mild on the palate and finish. Typical A.H. Riise profile.
