Deadhead Dark Chocolate Flavoured
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?
Aggregated from 93 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.

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.

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.

Magnifique, même ma famille est d'accord
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 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 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 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

Ein leckeres Schoko-Dessert zum Trinken!
Review by Richard Krupa
Neurazi, ale uz je to az moc jemne. Ma to pod 40%. Spis nez cokoladu tam citim mandle. Jak mandlovice
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.

One timer! You’ll taste the chocolate…. that’s it. To sweet, to soft, nothing special

Tatsächlich wegen der Flasche gekauft, Geschmacklich aber auch okay.
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
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 Schnapsschuesse
Schokolade pur in der Nase, wirkt eher wie ein Cremé Likör. Zugute kommt ihm aber dass die Basis nicht (mehr?) so süß ist wie erwartet. Funktioniert für mich als Schokolikör, aber nicht als irgendwas mit Rum.
Review by Holger
Völlig ohne alkoholische Schärfe. Mild, etwas dünnflüssig. Schokoladig. Eher eine Milka als eine charaktervolle Zartbitter.

Nez de caramel Goût de café pas du tout à mon goût
