I tried this with Bumbu and I feel like maybe I should try it with a more delicate dark rum. I can hardly get the cacao and the Benedictine is basically not there. Just a watered down, spicy Bumbu with a hint of chocolate

I had only 10 ml choc liqueur, but that was enough for me. A nice warming up when the weather is cold.

This reminds me of a Belgian Strong Dark Ale, with a subtle tail of spicy-sweet warmth in the finish. I used Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Dark rum, Cartron creme de cacao (which is bland on its own, but does a fine job supporting here), and Crystal hot sauce. I did put dashes of the hot sauce in the beaker, realized it then swirl-coated the beaker, dumping the excess. Not at all hot. Interesting drink. Exceeded my hazy expectations.
