Koloa Rum Company 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
  • Keep in mind: 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).

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%

Solid, strong coffee rum liqueur! Really good and not too sweet. For a change, a well-made coffee liqueur based on rum with an unusual origin. Only the price I definitely find a bit too high...

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 😬😬

Nice coffee liqueur that doesn't taste artificial. Of course, properly sweet. And it also reminds me strongly of 'Pocket Coffee'. Was very well received at a private tasting among coffee lovers.
