With most Monster products, you'll find that I have only good things to say. Java Monster Big Black is more of the same with a minor footnote. The can doesn't say to shake gently or anything, and as many of the regular readers know, I like to sip drinks. Somewhere between these two variables, a terrible thing happened; the milk separated. Now, I've drank about 5 of these all-in-all, and only had this happen once, but either the cream settled to the bottom, or having it near the heater in my car made it separate, and when it did, the small curd-like globs of cream were unpleasant. It reminded me of the old Orbit drink (the one with floating gummies in it), but at least with Orbit, you knew the nasty surprise chunks were coming. My suggestion, shake the can gently before opening, and if you own a Honda Prelude, put the heat on the foot/defrost setting.
Otherwise, the taste was a good as I expected it to be. Flavor was a little strong for my taste, and I much preferred the Java Monster Loca Moca.
There are a couple of general rules in life that you can pretty much count on:
Do I like Big Black? I like the episode where Big Black bought the Ford Pinto and murdered it out flat black. I also love Meaty the bulldog, and Rob Dyrdek is ok too. I bought Jason a DC shoes hat one time, so I like to think that some of that fat loot they're spending is part of my $17.99. Assuming that you weren't interested in whether I like the "Rob and Big" show, I also love (in equal parts) Java Monster Coffee Energy Big Black. It's so tasty that anyone who doesn't like Java Monster probably likes the taste of doo doo balls, and is a stupid head.
Other than the yummy flavor, it's also plenty energizing, as Monster products tend to be. Since we also found this flavor for $2.19, the price falls directly within the confines of my willingness to pay. Another standing ovation for Monster, IMHO.
