Monster Nitrous Black Ice
It’s been a few weeks and many disappointing trips to my local gas station, but I finally tracked down the newest Monster Nitrous Black Ice.
It’s the latest addition to their nitrous energy drink line, which I had though they forgot about since they haven’t released anything new since the intro. of the other 3, but better late than never I guess.
So how will the new 0 calorie, 0 sugar Monster Nitrous Black Ice fit in?
Taste
I pop the top to that familiar “pop” the nitrous gives and boy does Black Ice smell good. I’m in for a treat… not so fast. Wow, boy is this fizzy, the taste is very sweet, maybe a hint of citrus in there, but dang is it fizzy.
It was a little to sweet and bubbly at first, found it to be better after letting the Monster Nitrous Black Ice sit for awhile and then trying it near room temp after some nitrogenated water had gone.
Monster Black Ice Ingredients
Monster Nitrous Black Ice ingredient wise is very similar to Monster Absolutely Zero. Of course no calories or sugar, along with the same amounts of all the vitamin B’s. The energy blend is 200mg less in Black Ice compared to the other Nitrous Energy Drinks, yet made up of the same energy blend of Caffeine (135mg), Taurine, Panax Ginseng Inositol ect. Seems like Monster just took Absolutely Zero and applied there “Nitrous Technology” to it.
Effect
The effect of Monster Black Ice was pretty good. I took my time drinking it, which took about an hour to finish because of the sweetness, so I had a very good energy rush that lasted about 5 hours. A very minor crash at the end, hardly recognizable. Better rush than any of the 16oz Monster’s, in just the 12oz Black Ice.
Verdict
I was very excited to get my hands on the newest Monster, yet it did leave me a little disappointed. The nitrogenated water and artificial sweetener was a little to strong for my liking. I’d prefer Absolutely Zero, a milder version of Monster Nitrous Black Ice. If you’re a fan of the other nitrous flavors, then go ahead and give Black Ice a try, yet if you prefer your energy a bit smoother, then stick to the other Monster varieties.

ENERGY DRINKS ARE GOOD BUT MOST OF THEM ARE UNHEALTHY FOR YOU BUT I STILL LOVE THEM LIKE MONSTERS,NOS,HYPHIE,AND WIRED
@samantha yeah so are cigarettes, alcohol, and fast food, but that’s not stopping anyone
why does everyone say energy drinks are bad for you. Most people would not get there vitamins any other way. The way I see it, it is a one-a-day vitamin in a soda. Now as with anything it can be abused or over used. which would make people think it is bad.
Personally I really like this this drink. It tastes similar to the other drinks in the Nitrous line. There’s something tart or tangy about it that I really like.
Delicious. It is a little sweet, but not overpowering. It is very fizzy, though. And a little pricey. But otherwise it’s fantastic when a regular Monster just won’t provide enough “oomph.”
Whatever you do – don’t recap this can. Mine EXPLODED!!
(=^.^=) <——–meow
everyone go to youtube and type (powerthirst) for the fun and power of this drink!

Is there any place to buy Monster Black Ice online cheaply?
drugs drugs drugs you’re addicts!
i had a black ice last night. got me high. then when coming down felt like i might barf.
I LOVE these things. Too much, actually. I think the Black Ice is better than the other three, though close to the orange one.
Love love love nitrous black ice!
