Since Java Monster Nut Up is just a flavoured coffee and not a tea or a reduced calorie drink, I'm expecting the same level of quality of the early varieties. But things are not off to a good start with its can. Although the design and colour scheme are edgy and grim, it's hard to read or see much of what's going on. I criticized Lo-Ball for being far too light, and it looks like I'm going to criticize Nut Up for being just the opposite; too dark. Also, the name "nut up" isn't clear enough as to whether the flavour will be hazelnut or some other, less common nut.Java Monster Nut Up's taste is much more like glory days of the line. It's initially a smooth, milky texture with an idiosyncrasy of dark chocolate. The chocolate isn't bitter or very noticeable, and it's soon hushed by a stronger, though still fairly mild hazelnut flavour. The hazelnut taste is pleasant and has a slight undertone of almond. Following is a silky blend of vanilla cream and cinnamon, with the vanilla cream adding richness to the flavour body, and the cinnamon creating an edge of spice. There's a bitter innuendo undermining the entire experience, namely the latter part, and since there's very little coffee taste, it's the one thing that reminds you that the drink does in fact contain coffee. The coat left lining your mouth tastes of caramel with a hint of butterscotch, but the coating quickly fades, and so does the taste. Overall, Java Monster Nut Up tastes good, and while I would drink it again, it's not different enough from other energy coffee's to recommend over them.
Nut Up's kick shouldn't surprise anyone who has had a Java Monster before, as it's more or less the same; a three+ hour buzz, with no crash and no jitters. Each can contains: caffeine(160mg), taurine, ginseng, guarana, inositol, vitamin C and several B vitamins. Java Monster Nut Up cost me $2.89, and since it's very similar to past flavours, it just boils down to an expensive way to experience more of the same.
