The beverage in question is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underberg and I was wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on this or if anyone can vouch for its popularity.
Now, it's pitched as a digestive, but it's also 44% ABV so I thought it might be appropriate here.
The first time I tried it was back in November with my brother after the Great Shave in Chicago and this stuff tastes fairly...wretched. It is very herbal up front with heavy licorice, anise, and maybe some clove, which is followed up with a bitterness reminiscent of ex-wives and nightmares. If anyone is curious, check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L909bMX_dw
