It is sweet, but not butterscotch or sugary sweet - it reminds me slightly of regular Ovaltine, if you've ever had that. I usually prefer to drip, but LOVE it on a cart - it fills your house or car with this indescribably wonderful scent, but it's very hard for me to explain, which I think is kind of funny - I mean, we should "know" how to describe it based on what it's supposed to be, but somehow I just can't quite.
here's my review (not super helpful because it says the same thing, among others, BUT, it's a 3 page
thread, so maybe someone else mentioned something else that would help you narrow down if it's for you:
