I thought this review of mine shall be put forth in a different way so i have basically put it across on different points .....
Liquor
The champion of alcohol, appeals to the casual drinker,
and the heavy drunkard. Used straight, on the rocks as a sipping drink, for a nice relaxing time with your friends, or as a cover-up for a more sinister drink, such as 151. Or, at least in most cases, Baileys however, I wouldnt use to wash the taste of vomit out my mouth.
Taste
The Irish Crème flavor of Baileys is a pathetic attempt at cashing in on a other-wise respected flavor. Its very weak, hardly being noticeable at all. Theres no delicacy to it, just weak. For liquors, I like the ones that have the flavor that dances on the tip of your tongue, like a ballet dancer, hardly there, but never falls away.
Baileys, on the other-hand, is like a sluggish dolt, who can barely stand on his own two feet. This is suggested by how the Irish Crème flavor is almost immediately washed away from your mouth, as the alcoholic after-taste is all that stays in your mouth, from almost the moment the liquid rolls out the bottle or cup, and on to your tongue.
Color
Personally, I think that Baileys Irish Crème looks like muddy water. Its a brownish color, that has an un-appetizing appearance, that might well turn you off from it, before you even lift the nasty, poison-water to your lips.
Smell
I didnt find Baileys to have too much of a smell, but maybe thats me. Its not pleasant to the nose, but its not offensive either... Possibly one of the few redeeming factors for this otherwise sickening waste of liquid.
There Are Upsides
Irish crème, for all its nastiness, somehow tastes rather good in coffee. This is, however, extremely diluted from the coffee. I found it tasted good at 1/2 an ounce baileys, to about 8 ounces of coffee. No stronger then that, otherwise the horrid flavor would rise above the bitterness of the coffee, and the sweetness of the sugar added to it.
Final
I wouldnt recommend baileys to my worst enemy. There are bad things you can drink, that arent close to this. The flavor is aweful, the look is disgusting, its definitely not on the list of my favorites.
If you do-not like baileys, because of the over-whelming alcoholic after-taste, that washes away the flavor of the Irish Creme, then you might actually like drinks such as:
Hypnotic(a blue liquid, best served chilled, has a sour, though sweet and exotic flavor), Malibu Rum(clear, also best served chilled, or with pineapple juice, has a distinctly coconut flavor.. very delicious), Kalhua([spelling?]a liquor, made with coffee, very flavorful, best served with ice-cream and chocolate syrup{mudslide})
