Black Rifle Espresso 300 [ Triple Shot ] : Caramel Vanilla
![Black Rifle Espresso 300 [ Triple Shot ] : Caramel Vanilla](https://marcellee.com/posts/123472.jpg)
If you sip a can of this Espresso, which packs 300 milligrams of caffeine, expecting hints of Caramel and Vanilla, you’ll be in for a disappointment. You can’t detect either flavor. The Triple Shot moniker more accurately represents its three main ingredients; the only ones you can taste; Colombian coffee, milk and sugar. Still it’s a mildly pleasant experience.

G Fuel Energy Drink : PewDiePie
I don’t follow PewDiePie’s YouTube channel, so I don’t know if it makes sense for him to have his own beverage, but he is perhaps the most popular (video/computer) gamer in the world and Gaming is what the G in G Fuel stands for.
The picture on the can has him levitating what looks like a handful of cherries, which are included on the ingredients list, and that’s what this Energy Drink sort of tastes like, but they’re apparently supposed to be lingonberries.

G Fuel Energy Drink : Hype Sauce
This Energy Drink; the G apparently stands for (computer/video) Gaming; is supposed to be based on raspberry lemonade, but you wouldn’t necessarily know by the taste. You certainly can’t tell by reading the can, which mentions neither flavor, though the ingredients list does include some interesting oddities like blueberry and broccoli.

Bang : Whole Lotta Piña Colada
This Bang; a stylistic revamp of their original Piña Colada; will inevitably be compared to Chocolata. The Whole Lotta bit fits this one better though; because the rhyme makes more sense, not because it’s any more flavorful. The rumless coconut/pineapple taste is more akin to Champagne.

Southern Comfort Egg Nog : Vanilla Spice
This Southern Comfort Egg Nog isn’t just a major improvement over the original (Traditional) version, it also ranks among the best beverages I ever tasted. The infusion of Vanilla Spice consumed cold with a mouthful of unchewed graham crackers; forget the whiskey and “cinnamon stick”; makes for a drinking experience that is truly delectable.

Southern Comfort Egg Nog : Traditional
You’re supposed to mix this with Southern Comfort whiskey, “pour in glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick”. I prefer to drink it from the carton as is, stone cold, with graham crackers or shortbread cookies. The texture is “creamy & rich” as advertised. The taste, while not “delicious”, is rather pleasant.
my rating : 4 of 5
Monster Energy : Ultra Gold
The Gold color, Greek design and stony texture; you can actually feel it; give the can a premium, almost epic feel. This drink is based on the mythical “nectar of ambrosia” with “the heavenly fresh flavor of biting into” a “perfectly ripened golden pineapple”. Those last bits are, of course, silly promotional hyperbole.
