The Kraken, Roasted
The Kraken built its name on black spiced rum — dark as ink, bottled in the twin-handled Victorian-style flask with the sea-beast label. Black Roast is its limited-edition coffee run: the same spiced black rum base, infused with coffee essence so the roast sits inside the spice instead of on top of it. Proximo positioned it for neat and over-ice pours and for coffee cocktails, and the brand's own copy leans on fine arabica character and rich roast notes over the rum's exotic spice. Browse the beast on the Kraken vendor page, and see the rest of the shelf in our rum collection.
Tasting Notes
Fresh-roasted coffee up front — dark and dry-edged — over the black rum's molasses depth and baking spice, with the coffee carrying into the finish. At 33.3% ABV it pours smooth and full rather than fiery: a spiced rum with a genuine roast-coffee core, not a sweet coffee liqueur.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat or over a single large cube as an after-dinner rum, or shake it into an espresso rumtini — the serve the brand itself suggests. It also works anywhere a coffee note flatters rum spice: a Black Roast take on a Dark 'n' Stormy, or floated over a rum Old Fashioned. More dark and spiced pours are in our rum collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What proof is Kraken Black Roast?
The US 750mL bottling is 66.6 proof (33.3% ABV) — lower than the original Kraken Black Spiced at 94 proof, because Black Roast is a coffee-infused line extension, not the flagship. (A 40% ABV version exists only as the UK 700mL bottling.)
Is Kraken Black Roast a coffee liqueur?
No. It is a black spiced rum infused with coffee essence and natural flavors — rum first, coffee woven through it — and it is a limited edition release.
Where does Kraken Black Roast come from?
It is a Caribbean black spiced rum from The Kraken (Proximo Spirits) — Caribbean is the origin the brand itself states for this expression.
