Is it very sweet? Yes. Does it have hints of maple syrup? Yes. Would many find this sacrilegious in a rum? Absolutely. Who care though. Very pleasurable and a lot of fun any way you want to imbibe. Yum yum.

Had this neat. Got molasse and licorice flavors from it. Good for black strap mixers.

A solid mixing rum. Somewhat sweet and artificial tasting. No replacement for a dark Jamaican rum

I used to love sipping this rum a few years back, but now it has an over-the-top molasses taste and harshness. It works very well in some mixed drinks and with coke (which I rarely drink), but - along with most of the Cruzan line since Fortune brands took over- is a shadow of its former self.

Very smoky, but lacks the sweetness that it desperately needs. Good with Coke.

Very strong molasses or maple flavor to it to costume without a mixer. I used it as an ingredient in a tiki drink and it worked well. Limited use so the bottle will remain in the cabinet until summer....

This is a good Rum. The aroma is nice with notes of raisin and fresh bread and the taste is also good. Molasses and brown sugar come front and center in the taste but there is a slightly artificial quality to it which I am not a fan of. Overall not a bad black rum.

I had to change my opinion after a little more analysis. This rum is very complex with too much maple syrup flavor for my taste. It has a very strong maple syrup flavor and odor. Heavy mouth-feel and extremely dark color. Could be sipped over ice if you like maple flavor. It did okay in a dark and stormy but terrible as my dark rum selection for a mai tai. Don't know what to do with this one. I would not buy it again.

I really did. Unfortunately, it just doesn't taste good to me. It's a very unique flavor which ruins almost every drink I try to mix it into. Will not buy again.
