If you're a Bang truther and like artificial cherry and vanilla, this is probably the perfect storm for you.

Introduction
Bang Black Cherry Vanilla is one of the last Bangs I have to review before I get to the flavors that sound disgusting - Rainbow Unicorn, Cotton Candy, Radical Skadattle... you get the idea. I've been impressed with the Bangs that sound normal-ish, so the bar is relatively high.
Taste
8.2
I LOVE both black cherry and vanilla so I had high hopes going in. Bang Black Cherry Vanilla doesn't disappoint, but it doesn't wow for me. It's definitely true to the name, with a smooth black cherry vanilla that's blended together well. I don't have it higher than 8.2 because of the aftertaste. It's weird and unfortunately I don't have a better way to describe it. Maybe it's from the artificial sweetener?
Appearance
5
Nothing crazy to see here. If you like the Bang logo, it's awesome, because that's the only thing on the can. 5 since it's meh for me.
Kick
9
Bang always packs a punch and this is no exception. 300mg of caffeine and zero sugar. Aminos, Creatine, and CoQ10.
Conclusion
Extremely solid drink. Smooth, tastes as advertised, and refreshing. The only things I can knock it on are carbonation, which I would prefer higher; and the weird, bitter aftertaste. If you're a Bang truther and like artificial cherry and vanilla, this is probably the perfect storm for you.
