Stroh 80
Nobody here treats this 80% Austrian Stroh as a sipping rum — and that's kind of the point. Neat, tasters describe glue, hot alcohol and a burnt-sugar edge that "evaporates in the mouth before you can swallow." A few catch caramel and herbs under the heat, but the near-universal verdict is that it belongs in baking, Feuerzangenbowle, punch and hot tea, not a tasting glass.
The community says- Great for baking
- But: Brutal neat
- But: Mostly alcohol

How does Stroh 80 taste?
Aggregated from 52 community reviews.
Fierce 80% baking and punch rum Almost everyone agrees: undrinkable neat — pure alcohol with a whiff of caramel and glue. Its real job is baking, punch and warm winter drinks, which it does well.

Review by Kryštof
This was the most physically painful rum to drink I've ever encountered. The face I made upon the first sip reminded me of the first time I drank alcohol. Truly unenjoyable, super strong and the opposite of what you'd want in a rum. Plus points for the complexity, 15 minutes after I can still taste all the "unenjoyableness" of it.
Review by Aussierumfan
Was pretty tipsy when I tried this last night, did not like it at all, it's just a big mouthful of alcaholic pva glue. Sometimes glue is good like in hampden but certainly not here. Very hot on the palate, it seems to just evaporate in the mouth before It can be swallowed. I would drink Bundy yellow label neat before this.
Review by cigares
Not meant to be drunk, I think. Impressive alcohol, both on the nose and in the mouth. The liquid seems to evaporate before reaching the stomach. Taste not very good, but not downright bad either. Excellent for pastry, though.
Review by Timo Groeger
I don't think it's as bad as it was rated. It's quite alcoholic, as you can imagine at 80%, but you can still detect some caramel and a few herbs. Better than expected :)
Review by RumTaTa
It is not intended for pure enjoyment. Rather for baking or mixing. However, I think I recognize a trace of Hampden (DOK?). Oh, and the color is already unnatural with a red tinge!
Review by Stefan Persson
Emptied a bottle of this when in Kitzbuhl for skiing vacation as a teenager. It’s only useable as a mixer when your going party, party, party and doesn’t care what you’re drinking.

Smell 4/10 Taste 2/10 Aftertaste 2/10 Image 2,5/10 (info about rum, bottle, carton-box, sugar free, marketing....) Total impression 2/10 ------------------ BTL Sorry 😔
Review by Portman
Top notch for baking, useless for anything else. But you have to give it credit for the fact that it doesn't really want to be anything more than a baking ingredient.
Review by Kieron Wood
If you love cough syrup then this rum is for you , one of the worst I have ever tasted
Review by Andi
Not suitable for pure enjoyment, but quite good for a Christmas punch ;-)
Review by Luuzi
Not drinkable, only suitable for baking or Feuerzangenbowle.
Review by Golden Hind
An experience. - Definitely made with baking intentions in mind.
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
There is little to say...I didn't even know it was categorized as rum!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
All this rum can be used for is a rum grogg, punch or baking.
