The ones I have tried have all been pretty much like that. No actual
nose to them. No fruitiness and no floweriness, but a very deep and
robust flavour.
I could see somebody liking it a lot as part of a blend with something
lighter and more floral or fruity. I could also see it as a good drink
early in the morning. Very thick.
