In spite of many warnings, most specifically from [livejournal.com profile] cadhla, I hold in my hand a bottle of CocaCola Blak. Well, technically not in my hand, I mean, I had to put it down to type this, but you get the idea.

Hmm - Coffee extract listed BEFORE phosphoric acid? AND added cafffeine on top of that?

*twists off cap*

*sniffs*

Smells like an infernal combination of coke and burnt coffee. This is not a promising sign...

Though on the second sniff I find I actually kind of like it. This is not a promising sign about my sanity.

*sips cautiously*

First note is sort of sweety-caramel.

Then OMG ATTACK OF THE FIZZ IT BURNS IT BUR....ah - it stopped.

The you get a heavy hit of syrupy Coke flavor - kind of like when my mom used to give me a teaspoon of Coke syrup when I had an upset tummy.

Finally a long lingering mouth feel of burnt coffee. Bleh.

In conclusion, not as awful as I had been led to believe but overall just kind of gross. And I think it's giving me heartburn, after 3 cautious sips.

CocaCola Blak. Just say BLAAAAAAAAAK!!!

(I'm gonna go eat something now. 'Cuz, like...ew)

Thank you for saving an innocent from the experience. I had not heard of this evil before this post and now I know that it should be avoided. :)

My boss brought in a bottle of that the other day for taste testing. It was....weird

Yeah - that's about right. Not mind-numbingly awful, just...wierd.

I tasted something last night with smoky caramel notes - it was Glenfiddich 15.

I liked it!

In a cautious, I can't really drink this because I don't wanna over caffeinate the fetus kinda way.

I ask you, "How much more Blak can you get than that?"

And you must say, "None. None more Blak."
