Koloa Rum Company Koloa Kaua’i Coffee
One taster nailed it: blind, this reads as a coffee liqueur, not a rum. Expect strong black coffee, dark chocolate and brown sugar, sweet but not cloying, with several members comparing it to Pocket Coffee chocolates. At 34% it's soft and easy. Treat it as a dessert pour or a fun bottle to share, and you'll enjoy it far more.
The community says- Strong real coffee
- Not artificial-tasting
- Quite sweet

You can't think of it as rum...for a rum liqueur / spiced it's hard to beat (I say that as not a liqueur and not a coffee fan).
Review by Pavel Spacek
Blind tasting - first I was amazed by the colour. Than I tasted it and I do know it has nothing to do with rum. Pure coffee. This liquer you are able to identify for 100%
Review by Christian Rudt
nice coffee rum liqueur, which is almost me as a black coffee drinker then again ne nuance too sweet, but just so. with 34%, however, he also brings decent strength for its category.
Review by Rolf Pankoff 🇩🇪
Bought because of coffee flavor, which fully lives up to its name! Smells and tastes like more!
Review by Blockzeitwilli
Netter Kaffeelikör der nicht künstlich schmeckt. Selbstverständlich ordentlich süß. Und erinnert auch mich sehr stark an „Pocket Coffee“. Kam bei einer privaten Verkostung bei Kaffeliebhabern bestens an.
Review by WiltChamberlain
Very solid liqueur rum, does not taste intrusive artificial.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
solid strong coffee rum liqueur! Really good and not too sweet.
Review by Galli33
I tasted this blindly and my impression was more of a coffee liqueur than a rum. Anyway, this could be a nice sipper, as a dessert or as a gag or mixed in different cocktails. Maybe i‘ll buy one bottle just as a gag with friends 😬😬
Review by Johannes
Although I'm not a coffee or liqueur drinker, this is a really good coffee liqueur/rum
Review by Frank
VIP Tasting 10th GRF Also only briefly: Nose: Pure coffee and cocoa Palate: Pocket coffee. Nice dessert, but of course not the kind of rum you normally drink. But very sweet.
