Potion Taste Chart (3.5e Other)

Potion Info Chart

So, everyone should have an idea of what their favorite magical beverages taste, smell and look like. Each potion (taken from the core list of potions) is rated by its color, smell, texture and flavor. (If you have a potion, elixir or ingested poison you would like to add, feel free, and don't forget to link it and place it in alphabetical order).
