A lot of Anise flavor to it... I jokingly called it the original Jagermeister

It is awful, in my opinion. The spoon (slotted) mentioned is used to prepare the drink. You put a lump of sugar in the spoon and pour the liquor and/or water over into a glass.

The basic taste is licorice, which I abhor. Of course if you like licorice, that would change the perception.
