Coca Cola Blak
By: | 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.

This definitly looks...interesting. I don't know--diet coke mixed with coffee? Sounds gross to me, I've never seen it...
sounded,well, "different" at first but it is actually pretty good. I'll be drinking it!
It's more like a mix of coke and C2 -- it has sugar (high fructose corn syrup) in addition to the aspartame and acesulfame potassium. When I tried it at first, I didn't realize it had artificial sweeteners in it, and I didn't notice until I read the label, which is significant because I *hate* diet soft-drinks and the artificial sweetener taste. The coffee taste covers it up, I guess. My main gripe is the price. On "sale" at my local grocery store, a case of 4 was 5.99. Ouch!
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN BUY COKE-BLAK
