Caballo Negro Energy Drink Review
Well a couple weeks ago I reviewed the Sugar Free Caballo Negro Energy Drink and I was more than pleased. So today, I will review the regular Caballo Negro Energy Drink. First a little background information. This drink is 16 ounces, has 240 calories and is supposed to be the leading Energy Drink in the Hispanic Category, but don't quote me on that. Both the sugar free and regular Caballo Negro Energy drinks are also available in 8.4 ounce slim line cans. So enough fluff and onto the review.

Caballo Negro Energy Drink Review: Taste
This drink is very similar to the sugar free version, albeit a little sweeter. It has a citrus (pineapple) / berry taste and is similar to Red Bull with one exception. Instead of the medicinal aftertaste you get sort of a bubble gum like aftertaste. Much better in my opinion. Although I thoroughly enjoyed this drink, I think I prefer the sugar free version a little bit more as it is not quite as sweet and it has 240 less calories. Taste Rating - 8.5

Caballo Negro Energy Drink Review: Kick
The taste is far better than Red Bull and so is the kick. With a laundry list of ingredients that includes (unknown levels of) taurine, b-vitamins, caffeine, guarana extract and ginseng extract. The only downfall is that there is quite a bit of sugar which did lead to a slight crash in energy after about 3 hours. However, it was not that bad and if you want to avoid this slight sugar crash just pick up the sugar free version instead. Kick Rating - 8.6

Caballo Negro Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Above average in both the taste and kick categories. I like the bubble gum aftertaste and the design of the can. However, next time I pick up a Caballo Negro I think I will opt for the sugar free version. After all, I drink two or three ED's a day, so cutting calories helps. Either way a good drink and well worth a try. Final Judgment - 8.6
