It was good from the beginning better as it warmed up. The imperial saved it and gave it better body the coffee was prominent. I don't like coffee. Lol. I I got some of the other flavors as it warmed but the coffee was In my face. For perspective my wife is a coffee drinker and she was like the coffee is not that strong to a coffee drinker so I have to guess that it's probably more balanced if you like and/or drink coffee. Still very good a 4/5. Everything can't be Merkin lolHow was it 40?
