It's available hot or iced and since the weather has been warming up a bit lately, I picked up an iced 12-ounce Tall recently for $3.55 (compared to about $2.65 for a regular Tall Cappuccino).
I've never gotten an iced cappuccino before so visually it's a little new for me (at least the way Starbucks serves it), there's a dark chocolate brown coffee layer with a good-sized foam layer atop and then a drizzle of the bittersweet mocha sauce to finish.
Taste-wise, the Cocoa Cappuccino not as sweet as a comparable Mocha. There's more of a coffee flavor and a richer, darker chocolate flavor but is not as creamy. I like it better than the Mocha; I liked that it was less sweet and more chocolate-y. If you want even more coffee taste (and/or more caffeine), I'd suggest going with a 16-ounce Grande instead of a Tall since in addition to the extra four ounces, it also sports two shots of espresso instead of the one found in a Tall.
At the end of the day, the Cocoa Cappuccino's a good drink to buy if you want more coffee and chocolate flavor but don't mind less sugar.

Problem is that when I order it now, the barista looks at me and asks others if it exists. I no longer can get it :(
