The demerara sugar indeed made it quite dark and added some molasses notes to the brew. I've tried it in a Hawaiian Eye to great effect, as well as with soda -- refreshing! Here's a pic of batch #1 in its Sunday best :) I've completed a second batch (using plain old granulated sugar this time) and I dropped the clove count a bit. I was also extra careful with the limes, making sure to get absolutely no white pith with the zest. The verdict? It is good. Still spicy, still tangy, still bitter, but more 'pleasantly' bitter now. A dark and light batch for dark and light moods... To chemistry!
