A very sweet dark. Usually drink this on the rocks with ice however it does fine with soda.

Still not the biggest fan of Black rums but its a quality product and has always been on my back bar. Stick it in punch or afloat the top of your Zombies!

need I say more? Goslings with bundaberg ginger beers or home made ginger beer is near perfect. Coruba is slighty better but cant take much away from Goslings except that they have a aggressive copyright policy and send letters to people who use the dns name without permission. So BOO and -3 points.

if you want a "Dark 'n' Stormy".
The ginger beer is actually the key as I've found a VAST range of flavors within "ginger beer"; Gosling's GB is tasty, although not cheap.

If you don't already know about this rum, start researching. PERFECT rum for the Dark and Stormy drink of Bermuda. I always have a bottle of this to make dark and stormy's when the mood is right!

I love this for my Dark N Stormy's. You can do Myers' Dark, but it is not the same. I do like Old Lahaina Dark, but not as good as Gosling's. Any of the Bermuda ginger beers such as Gosling's, Barrit's, or Regatta are very good. However, if you want a little pop in your Dark N Stormy, try the Goya Jamaican ginger beer. It has a strong pepper taste and is very spicy.

Must have for a proper Dark & Stormy, an aquired taste as a mixer for other recipes, smokey molasses flaver can be overpowering.
