Wow, kudos to Melintur. It's not quite up there in coffee drink heaven with the Bum's Krakatoa but it's close. However, bells and whistles starting going off. I think this comes the closest to approximating the Black Magic or Mutiny. There's something very familiar about all those flavors, especially the Corbua/Pernod combo. I've heard the Mai-Kai uses Coruba so this makes sense. There's at least one other major piece of the puzzle missing, however. More investigation and sampling at the Mai-Kai may be necessary. FYI, I stand corrected on the legend referred to above. Rumor has it that The Mutiny is an amalgamation of the Black Magic and Barrel of Rum, not the other way around.
