Nicole has already given her review of Coke Blak, a few months ago. She really liked it. I finally tried to new drink last week, so I thought I'd give my review too.
First off, it wasn't easy finding the drink. I found the four packs at a lot of supermarkets, but I've never been one of those people that takes one bottle out of a six pack, and I never wanted to spend the money on an entire four pack, so I always passed. Luckily I found a Walgreens in Boston that was selling individual bottles.
I wish I hadn't bought a single bottle either...
How to describe the taste. Well, imagine taking dozens of caramels and melting them in a bowl. Then you pour a bunch of sugar or Aspartame on top and mix it all together. Then you take Coke and pour it on top of the mixture. Fill a bottle with the stuff and then drink it.
In a word, it's hideous.
I'm tempted to say that Coke Blak, like a lot of food and drink, is "an acquired taste." Where you would acquire such a taste I'm not sure, but I couldn't even get past three sips of this stuff. It's so...so...out there in it's flavor. A strong caramel taste overpowers everything. I don't really taste any coffee in there. It's all caramel and Coke, and that's it. It's a think liquid, but somehow tastes really thick, if that's possible. It almost seems like you're supposed to mix it with water, to dilute it. But that's not the case. I remember drinking Zar-Ex straight out of the bottle when I was a kid. I didn't know you were supposed to mix it with anything. It was kinda gross, but I'd still drink that over this.
I'm disappointed this didn't taste better, but I guess there are enough other soda drinks out there to quench my thirst.
