- Nose
- Milk, nutmeg, and spirit rise in a soft festive aroma.
- Palate
- Humpty Dumpty is useful because it occupies the awkward but important middle ground between flip, nogg, and creamy restorative service.
- Finish
- The finish is creamy, rich, and warmly spiced.
- Summary
- A rich milk-and-egg hybrid from the flip-nogg borderland.
