    Drinking one now and it's not doing too well, which is a bit surprising since it really isn't that old. Anyway, losing the coffee bite, which exposes a fairly weak brown underneath.

    Drink up!

    Damn I have 3 left and I didn't particularly like it at first. Was hoping it would calm down.

    I had my first last week, and thought it tasted like liquid coffee with vanilla coffee-mate in it. If that is faded, I dont want to imagine it fresh.

    Very thin when fresh. I wouldn't age it at all.

    I liked the Nutella-ish fresh flavor, but the price wasn't matching up with my opinion of it. IMO, it's not a financially viable option for aging even if it did improve immensely over time.

    That's exactly how I'd describe it. Had it for the first time last night. It was way too sweet and you could definitely pick up on the artificial flavors.

    I actually enjoyed the one I had last week, although maybe not $15 worth.

    A trading partner cracked one open last week and his tasting group loved it. I've got one left.
