Coca Cola Blak

By: Tanya Patrice | Apr 13, 2006

Coca Cola Blak is a carbonated fusion beverage, according to the packaging. It's actually a fusion of coffee and soda - actually, it's probably a fusion of coffee and diet coke, since there is aspartame and acesulfame-K, which are the artificial sweeteners used in diet coke. There's definitely a strong sweet coffe aroma to the beverage - it reminded me of coffee candy I used to have when I was a kid. It tastes like regular Coca Cola, meaning it's good, and there is a strong aroma of coffee, but that aroma really didn't translate into a strong coffee taste. I held my nose close to see if without the smell of coffee, it would actually taste like there was some coffee in the drink, and it didn't. After drinking about 3/4 of the bottle, the coffee flavor started coming out more, and the sweetness started getting more intense (too sweet for my taste buds), and there was a slightly bitter edge to the taste.

Although Coca Cola Blak is not marketed or labeled as a diet beverage, there are actually only 45 calories and 12 grams of sugars in the 8 ounce bottle compared to 105 calories and 27 grams of sugar in regular Coke. I only bought one bottle so I could write this review, but would I buy a case of this? Hmmm... I would if I drank regular sodas. It provides an interesting new flavor - a nice change from regular Coke. Also, if you don't like the taste of diet sodas, then getting this soda instead could be a way to cut out some calories, but without getting the diet soda taste.
