A little too sweet/fruity for my tastes, but not bad. I’ve noticed that once you add even a little Creme de Menthe to a drink, it tends to dominate the flavor. avivahg, on the other hand, really fancied this one.

Essentially alcoholic chocolate milk. And pretty good, at that. Probably would have benefitted from the addition of Kahlua.
Some interesting combinations I’ve discovered:
Goldschlaeger’s and Yukon Jack….which a friend and I have nicknamed a “Yukon Gold Rush” (the Yukon Jack takes the edge off of Goldschlaeger’s cinnamon bite.
Amaretto and 99 Banannas – seems a VERY ODD combination. But the 99 Banannas takes a bit of the edge off the amaretto, toning it down a fair bit. If the combination sounds gross just think of it as “bananna nut”.
Mind you if you don’t like cinnamon or amaretto then you won’t like the above shots respectively.
I was going through my old entries, and I came across this one. Having actually tried 99 Bananas now, I have to say: the 99 Banannas take the edge off of the Ameretto?!!! What the hell kind of ameretto were you drinking?! Compared to 99 Banannas, ameretto is almond-tinged water. Remember, that 99 is for 99-proof!
Um…
The alcohol doesn’t hit me…but Amaretto is just a bit too strong in flavor at times and for some people…
It adds to the alcoholic kick,…but reduces the punch of the over-whelming flavor.
