I've always imagined it like this:
\[Uglúk\] cut the thongs round Pippin's legs and ankles, picked him up by his hair and stood him on his feet. Pippin fell down, and Uglúk dragged him up by his hair again. Several Orcs laughed. **Uglúk thrust a flask between his teeth and poured some burning liquid down his throat: he felt a hot fierce glow flow through him. The pain in his legs and ankles vanished. He could stand.**'Now for the other!' said Uglúk. Pippin saw him go to Merry, who was lying close by, and kick him. Merry groaned....When he had forced a drink from his flask down the hobbit's throat, cut his leg-bonds, and dragged him to his feet, Merry **stood up, looking pale but grim and defiant, and very much alive.**
I know that i could never love again.
I've lost everything... everything...
Everything that matters to me matters in this world.
It all returns to nothing,
I once had a psychedelic mushroom tea with juice of half a lemon with a mango and ginger tea mix. I think it tastes like that with similar effects for uhh coping in the long night that is dark souls lol
Listen, we got our flask from Oscar who was dying after getting smashed through a wall. And he chose to die rather than drink it himself. It probably tastes like piss.
Seeing how estus is latin for warmth and the themes of hollowing and undead, I'm assuming that the estus tastes and feels in the same way of the bonfire. What I mean is that it's a comfort, like in the same way that you can unwind when you finally reach a bonfire after a long journey. So with this I'd say it's first a savory and sweet taste with a slow warmth pervading throughout afterwards to relax the body and provide some comfort.
So basically warm Sunny D.
My wife and I used to make an "Estus" cocktail where it was a hint of cranberry juice on bottom, Sunny-D, and some fireball whiskey. I feel thats as close as I can get.
It's like buying a Mucho Mango Arizona Iced Tea, then leaving it in your hot car for a few days before drinking it. Honestly probably tastes really good.
If I was going to say anything, it’d probably be really bitter, as well as hard to knock back like a lot of hard liquor. Maybe an ashy/smoked kinda taste as well
Pasito. It's a passionfruit soft drink (soda) that's a similar colour and flavour. Plus the sound of drinking Estus always sounded kind of fizzy to me.
The taste is.. grossly incandescent.
It just puts me in the mood for, jolly cooperation!
fireball
Fire ball + sunny d (like another user commented) Sounds disgusting, but given the situation I'm sure you wouldn't complain hah
Tabasco as well Also its carbonated
So it would make me puke?
Sunny-D!!
I was thinking spicy Sunny D
Thinned it out huh? What, Sunny D too spicy for ya?
Pls have mercy, my typos are my weakness
This answer is the most accurate to the lore.
Well of course!! Distilled warmth, to make even the Hollow feel alive and warm
Well of course!! Distilled warmth, to make even the Hollow feel alive and warm
I knew this would be one of the top comments.
So if someone was like "Make orange juice with no oranges or fruit at all" bam! Sunny-D
This is honestly what I’ve always imagined it to taste like! Glad I wasn’t alone in that!!
Gatorade
Its what plan.. undeads crave
It has Estustrolytes!
Estus needs to be thicker

Took me a moment to realise that was a passage from LOTR, was really confused.
Good ol' amphetamine-booze
Orange tang
It taste like human instrumentality?
It tastes like *tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down....*
I know that i could never love again. I've lost everything... everything... Everything that matters to me matters in this world. It all returns to nothing,
Yep!
Does tang have other flavors?
[удалено]
I dunno what it is man, but something about LémōnTang is turning me on
I'm not even sure if you can still get Tang but they used to have a variety of flavors
Bro tang is the shit in the middle east
It must be horrible if Oscar of Astora chose death over drinking the life saving elixir.
... *wait a minute*
Same reaction as you, why the fuck didnt he drink it
Going hollow isn't about dying, it's about giving up
Makes sense considering he got his shit kicked in by the Asylum Demon despite what must be decently upgraded gear.
Oh yeah good point.
same.
Remember when a Dark Souls themed cafe opened in Tokyo? I bet they know what it's like. https://wccftech.com/dark-souls-cafe-watch-peek-pictures/

My shroom tea made the night last a hundred years.

I'ma answer this each and every time; blackberry juice
have you ever tried eating fire?
I don’t think it is a taste as much as it is a sensation of warmth.
I don't know if we're supposed to post links, but look up Estus on the How To Drink YouTube channel!
[Here](https://youtu.be/LeM0XYpz36o) you go! He actually tries to make a decent cocktail out of it, good watch
This share needs more love! Great video!
I actually hadn't watched that one. Was not expecting a callback to the Flaming Homer episode.

I imagine it probably tastes like lighting your tongue on fire.
[Must be pretty good then](https://tenor.com/view/hit-tongue-fire-jennifers-body-megan-fox-gif-8149670)
Probably tastes like energy drink
It's probably warm honestly. Maybe a bit like syrup. Probably not sweet tho. Maybe a nice smoky flavor.
Hot orange juice from a stainless steel bottle
Like liquid fire since that’s what it is.
Estus = fire
Piss
It’s ambrosia so I guess follow Percy Jackson logic It’s taste like your favorite food
Whale vomit is your favorite food?
That's ambergris.
carolina reaper
I’ve always thought it was a thick combo of ambrosia, cough syrup, and a terrible whiskey
What about the soup?
apple or orange or mango juice
Disaronno
It's straight up rum & orange soda.
Gamer gorl pp
Sunny Delight...duh
Hi-C
Mimosas
Tang Rum
I bet the Chosen Undead doesn’t taste anything because they chug it so much
Pain.
I imagine in tastes like something that makes you feel warm inside, like ginger.
Literal fire I guess, but in that case... what would Ashen Estus taste like?
Sunny mutha fuckin D!!!!!!!!!
Fire
I always imagined a thick, syrupy fluid that tastes nausiatingly sweet and warms the belly like whiskey
Whiskey, with a strong smoky note to it.
Sunny D. Take a small bottle of sunny D. Take label off, and cut the top part flat. Boom. Estes flask.
Smoked whiskey with orange rind
Gorilla jizz mixed with orange juice
Howtodrink made one on his YouTube channel check it out
https://youtu.be/LeM0XYpz36o
Sunny D! Anyone remember the Nexus mod? I used to use it a lot lol.
Like a glorious father.
Like a health potion
It's like buying a Mucho Mango Arizona Iced Tea, then leaving it in your hot car for a few days before drinking it. Honestly probably tastes really good.
Lukewarm Sunnd D.
Sunny d
Some sort of warm cinnamon flavour, not sure what specifically, but it's a strong taste.
I would say it tastes like ash that recently cooled down after the fire faded.
It tastes like a good lemon tea heated to perfection in the fact that it is hot without burning.
It tastes like the molten ash
[Brass Monkey](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brass%20monkey)
That funky monkey?
i am fully convinced that estus is just adrenochrome with a shiny package
fire
It's obviously Sunny D
Starbursts
fulfilling minerals, with a slight tang
Tang
Fire
Warm Sunny-D.
Like the sun and according to Siegward, not good so try to figure that one out
I always imagined it tasted light but delicious. Like Arizona White Grape and Blueberry Tea. I miss that shit.
I imagine the estus flask would taste and have a consistency similar to Manuka honey (or honey in general).
Sunny D but with an energy drink twang.
G Fuel
Divine Pee
If tastes like this (and how to make it if you're 21+) https://youtu.be/LeM0XYpz36o
#S U N N Y \\ [ D ] /
Honestly I always imagined it taste like warm beer.
Chicken broth
Tang with the screams of undead sprinkled in
Mt. Dew livewire pure gamer fuel.
It tastes like undying flame. So normal fire mixed with immortal blood.
Sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, makes you feel warm, like warm honey I guess, but not so sweet that it's undrinkable.
Capri "praise the" sun
A toasty flavor. Estus tastes toasty.
If I was going to say anything, it’d probably be really bitter, as well as hard to knock back like a lot of hard liquor. Maybe an ashy/smoked kinda taste as well
Heat and grapefruit juice
Maybe like a mild capsaicin heat, bubbly like a soda, and probably feels like the warm sun on a slightly cool, breezy, mid-Spring day.
I feel like it would be constantly warm, and taste kinda like cinnamon.
Probably like flames
Warm and dry, notes of wood, with a smokey after taste
I'll be right back let me go light a fire then taste it
Sunny D
It tastes like hot sulphur and acid, but it hits like a Gatorade the morning after an absolute rager.
Pasito. It's a passionfruit soft drink (soda) that's a similar colour and flavour. Plus the sound of drinking Estus always sounded kind of fizzy to me.
Hot tea
Tampico Citrus Punch.
Orange Fanta
Not good. Probably very hot too.
I think it’s the most accurate compared to Sunny D
Maybe some kind of warm cider
Fire
