Feuerzangenbowle

Tonight I'm invited to something called Feuerzangenbowle. It sounds kinda hmmm, how can I put it, not so good. But I like the sound of caramelizing, is it like sweets? Soon I will know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feuerzangenbowle PS. I didn't really get an answer to my question yesterday. I guess it's hard to compare with something you never had.
