Mozart Black Chocolate Liqueur is one of three chocolate liqueurs they make, the others being Milk Chocolate liqueur and White Chocolate liqueur. It is 17%abv/34 proof, is made in Austria, and comes in a charming round bottle. The color of the liqueur is a dark brownish red. The aroma is that of fine dark chocolate syrup with a hint of vanilla and spices. The body is on the thin side with not too much sweetness. The flavor backs up the aroma and takes it a few more steps down that dark chocolaty road with depth to it that surprised me. The hint of vanilla and spices, toasted almonds, and possibly coffee comes out during the finish. This reminds me of the smell of the Jacques Torres chocolate factory in Greenwich Village NY. A combination of chocolate tastes and aromas, combined with everyone rushing about, milling and churning. It's a very busy tasting liqueur. I'm not a chocolate lover but I really like this liqueur. I don't think I could drink too much of it, but would definitely enjoy some poured over premium vanilla ice cream or in hot chocolate to boost the flavors. If you like rich and dark chocolate then you will enjoy Mozart Black Chocolate Liqueur, chilled and straight up, on the rocks, shaken with milk, or in any of numerous cocktail recipes.
