I've seen this product for decades but didn't feel like finding out it had an aftertaste like so many syrups on the market including Monins.  I don't like molasses and I don't like maple.  I finally took the leap and MAN IS IT GOOD.  There is really no sweetener I stand in coffee except pure sugar until now.  This is even good there.  Didn't alter the coffee the way honey would.  Pancakes  Waffles  on your Tongue  on Ice Cream  on Sausage, in baking,  its like adding almost-caramel to anything.  Butter just brings it forward.  Alaga no longer is like it was decades ago so this is the syrup I'm switching to.  Looking to try their other goodies.
