Oh Coca-Cola Blak, thou art shameful! In thy miniature bottle shaped like a “classic Coke-bottle,” with the cryptic title “fusion beverage” on the side, thou art most misleading. For 10 ounces of this mystery liquid did I pay $1.39. And lo! I didst find Coca-Cola Blak to consist of coffee-flavored Coke!
Yea, it doth say on side of thy bottle, oh Coca-Cola Blak, that thine ingredients include “coffee extract,” yet nowhere does it say you taste like UTTER SWILL.
I go forth into the world, Coca Cola Blak, sorrowing at the knowledge that other chumps might fall for your cute bottle and non-descript description! Damn you, Coca-Cola Blak! Damn you to HELL!
I just had one yesterday. It is quite good. My only complaint is that they had tied into the extreme drink business and can charge 1.40 for a small bottle.

You are obviously insane. Get help immediately.

Anybody want a rim job?
You didn’t know it was supposed to taste like coffee? Maybe it’s a regional thing. I’ve seen ads that coke was going to make a coffee/coke combo for ages. I like it, the aftertaste is a bit like burnt marshmallow. Mmm!
You think that’s bad? I once had the misfortune to try a coffee-flavored beer.
Puke smiley, need puke smiley…
“Blak!” was the sound I made after trying it. It was a combination of gagging and trying to chew off my own tongue.
Interesting. This stuff is one of the very few weird new beverages (actually the only one) that I quite like. I can’t stand the taste of energy drinks, especially Red Bull (it tastes like somebody melted a whole handful of SweeTarts in a glass of carbonated water) but Coke Blak is tasty. The oddest thing about it is that I normally can’t stand coffee and I was prepared to hate this stuff, but the combination of the Coke and the coffee flavors works for me.
The boyfriend got a bottle and hated it, and then made me try it- I didn’t like it (as in I would definitely never pay $1.50 for it) but I didn’t hate it either. It has a weird, but not completely unpleasant taste. I can imagine it being awful if you didn’t realize it was supposed to be coffee-flavored coke though.
My father is actually developing the bottles for this beverage so Coke gave my parents an enormous supply of this stuff.
It’s, err, sitting around.
I don’t hate it, I don’t love it. It takes exactly like coke mixed with cheap coffee. Nothing more, nothing less.

Wow, that’s a shame…I’ve made a really tasty Coffee Stout in the past, and gotten raves on it!

Well, maybe it would work with a stout, given the, er, stout flavor of that variety. I think (this was several years ago, so the details are sketchy) it was a lager. In fact, I believe it had a picture of a gorilla on the label, might have been called Silverback, I dunno, and it was a sample the guy at the liquor store gave me to try. He knew how much I liked microbrews and wanted an opinion before he invested in stocking it.
He got an earful.

Absolutely…coffee in a stout or porter is a delicious enhancement to a beer that already has a good bit of roastiness in it. In a pale lager…shudder, I’d have to agree with you. I don’t even know if coffee would work in a dopplebock.
Coke good…coffee great…Coca-Cola Blak awesome!
I’m just waiting for the nirvana of having beer added to the mix. I’d never need anything else to drink.

Hey, my self-protective reflexes are fast, pal.
I luuuuuurve Coke Blak. As a college student, I live off this stuff. Delicious caffeine = papers get written = yay!
The thing that irritates me is the diacritical mark (macron?) above the A. As I learned so many years ago, it makes the pronunciation sound like ‘Blake’. That I just don’t agree with.
As for the OP: so you wasted $1.39 on something that doesn’t taste good. You’ll live.
Why buy this crap when you can get the Real Thing?
Nasty, Nasty stuff. And I got a free bottle they were handing out by the train station. Wasn’t worth the effort to tip that crap to my lips.
