Absinthe Review: Absinthe Gothica

Review:
Now I know it sounds strange, but I expected Gothica to taste blacker. It feels like it's lacking some vital element, like a flavour is missing, there's a void within it. This isn't too say it's unpleasant, nor that it has no effectiveness. I'd possibly try decreasing the water ratio as this may up the flavour, however I'm a little scared of the consequences.

"The Truth" Great bottle. Its not really absinthe. Its more of a Hybrid. The Huge amount of alcohol and the massive amount Anise shoved into the bottle makes for a very powerful Drink. You aren't going to be able to overpower the flavor of this Absinthe, so I hope you enjoy Anise. Try mixing it with Cranberry juice or Midori. It turns a cloudy Purple that looks like a cloud floating in the middle of the glass. All methods work but there isnt any Louche because ( as previously stated ) this is not really Absinthe and it's black. EFFECT: Nice effect. Relaxing and calm. But a lot of that can be attributed to the high level of alcohol involved. END GAME: Very Cool Bottle. Overpowering flavor, lots of alcohol and anise but not as bad as you might think. There is definitely an Effect, but I wouldn't call it impressive or traditional or euphoric. Mostly I would call it drunk with a hint of worm wood. And That's The Truth

Review:
All-be-it, this is my first sample of European Absinthe, as in the States we only have a few "Americanized" Absinthe's like Lucid, Kubler, St. George, La Torment Vert ect, all of which I've had, and this surprisingly does not have the bite I was expecting. Contrary to previous reviews, done in the traditional manor, this Absinthe does louche, but the blue coloring hides it. You can still see the clouding up behind the color though. The effects are exactly what I expected, as a friend of mine had a bottle a few years ago and I did 2 shots (which, unless you are a lunatic, I would recommend against doing) and noticed within 10 minutes the "green fairy" (or in this case, the blue fairy...). The flavor, well, is Absinthe. In the traditional preparation, it has a very well balance between the herbs used. The after taste lingers for a moment with a flowery, herbal taste on the back of the tongue. It has the "bitter" bite of the wormwood, which rears its wonderful head very clearly from the get go. I would have to say that this Absinthe is overall a better Absinthe than Lucid. The licorice is not overpowering at all. I like this one and will definitely be ordering it again and again. The package arrived in 7 business days, as stated. I cannot wait to order more varieties. I love this drink. Absinthe is the only thing I drink and will be the only thing I ever drink if I can help it. I would and will definitely recommend this to others.

Review:
HORRIBLE! SIMPLY HORRIBLE! I understand and respect peoples views and taste. But with a heavy licorice taste (which is fine), no louche, no extra feeling, I was disappointed. I had to quit after 3/4 of the bottle because i was not affected by any sort of buzz. I really wanted to like it, but besides the design and color, it was a giant let down. I am not a pro but with a few varieties under my belt i felt that it was poor quality. Buy it if you like the look but not for the flavor or affect.

Not a drip and sugarcube absinthe, it does not louche. Mixed 1-4 cold water is pleasent and shines a really cool blue color under "bar room lighting". At home, no louche means no fuss, 1 to 1 with anything sweet is sweet. Gimme creamsoda and a clariet glass and look out. 8) .
