Opinions land all over the place here, from "chocolate bomb dessert" fans to people insisting this isn't rum at all. At 35% it drinks soft and creamy, heavy on cocoa powder and vanilla with a caramel edge. Several tasters call it a chocolate liqueur more than a spirit. The monkey-skull ceramic bottle gets nearly as much love as the liquid.
The community says- Rich cocoa notes
- Soft, creamy
- But: Barely rum-like

How does Deadhead Dark Chocolate Flavoured taste?
Summarized by AI from 92 community reviews.
Sweet chocolate liqueur, more dessert than rum Most agree it's a sweet, creamy chocolate-and-vanilla sipper that works as a dessert dram. The recurring catch: many say it barely reads as rum.

A delicious chocolate dessert to drink!
Review by Stefan Persson

A chocolate liqueur with aromas and flavors of dark chocolate but even more vanilla besides all the sweetness. So it’s actually more of a vanilla & sugar bomb that is almost nearly undrinkable if you expect a rum.
Review by LukaŽiga
6,5:On the nose, there's no mistaking the goods: there's plenty of chocolate, as if cocoa powder had been diluted in the rum. There's also a very smooth, creamy, almost milky quality, giving this rum a very gourmand, regressive character. Aeration doesn't alter the profile at all, perhaps more a very sweet side and a certain suave roundness from the vanilla and caramel. 6,9:The palate is very smooth, but we're pleasantly surprised by a little relief that avoids the trap of too much roundness. The chocolate borrows a little of the coffee's character, without betraying its promise of deliciousness. 6:The finish is a mocaccino-style blend of chocolate and coffee..
Review by Timo Groeger
And the next chocolate rum. It has a few percent more than the previous one, but you can hardly taste it. Chocolatey taste, for me it even goes in the direction of dark chocolate. A nice shot, but not a rum.
Review by Gregor
Yes a spiced... But nice chocolate tone Unfortunately not round. The chocolate flavors do not really want to form a bond with the rum
Review by Patrik Onderka
I forgot to record the tasting of this thing when I got this bottle as a gift. Well, it is not a rum in the first place, just a Mexican dark chocolate flavored elixir. On the other hand, I really like their typical monkey head ceramic bottles. Expect just vanilla and a lot of chocolate.
Review by Galli33
One timer! You’ll taste the chocolate…. that’s it. To sweet, to soft, nothing special
Review by DRC73
Magnificent, even my family agrees
Review by Ginger & Fred
Clear color while expecting something dark. Taste little to not complex if you ask me. Even if the opinions here are extremely divergent I find the good piece but quite cool in the collection. Who expects a rum will be disappointed but who is prepared for anything will certainly be positively surprised 😃 You pay here also some for the packaging but hey - why not?
Review by Anthony
It's a good rum! "It's strong in chocolate" like Nesquik with aromas of vanilla and caramel, slightly alcoholic and spicy with a surprising taste at 35° Original bottle associated with a nice story, I recommend it for rum amateurs looking for an "easy" rum
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Is this even rum, given the 35% ABV? It might be good for desserts, but don't expect rum if you decide to try it. In the nose I got chocolate, and the notes I got was overpowering chocolate, caramel, and a bit of vanilla

Something different, surprisingly good.
Review by Rolf Pankoff 🇩🇪
Actually bought because of the bottle, but taste-wise okay too.
Review by MJ72
As the name suggests, a chocolate bomb. Pleasant in taste, not too much alcohol and nice in the finish.
Review by Richard Krupa
Crazy, but it's already too mild. It's under 40%. Rather than chocolate, I feel almonds. Like almond liqueur.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Pure chocolate on the nose, more like a cream liqueur. But it benefits from the fact that the base is not (anymore?) as sweet as expected. Works for me as a chocolate liqueur, but not as anything with rum.
Review by Abrahan Reyes
Nose: Feels a bit like artificial chocolate. Taste: the chocolate is not bad, taste better than you can perceive with the nose. Finish: Short. Like with the aged representation the bottle is nice and well done. I think might go well with an Old Fashioned.
Review by Mate
It's like a couple of very drunk friends thinking about the weirdest, grossest rum they could make. A dude listens to this and makes it, then bottles it and puts it on the market. This is not a rum. I don't know what it is, but I'd have to be really drunk to want to drink that again.
Review by Holger
Completely without alcoholic sharpness. Mild, somewhat thin. Chocolaty. More like a Milka than a characterful dark chocolate.

Caramel nose Coffee taste Not at all to my taste
