Appearance: A fairly unappealing deep amber fuille morte, with a slight olive cast when held to the light.
Louche: It's a bit on the thick side. The louched color is a somewhat gross yellow mud color, with some deep orange reflections.
Aroma: Smells like absinthe, but it seems like something ominous is lurking under the disguise of absinthe...like a deep, herby monster lurking beneath the surface of the glass.
Flavor/Mouthfeel: Reeeeeeeeally bold anise, and a distinct soapy flavor. I can almost describe it as being very prickly and sharp, with the parts of the damsel in distress and the hero being played by wormwood and fennel...sadly the anise-monster steals the show.
Finish: More heat, prickles, and soapiness. My tongue feels pretty spent at this point in time.
Overall: Much like a good deal of B-horror, I guess I'm just not sure WHY an absinthe would be produced like this.
