Extreme levels of cocoa flavor and sweetness— which doesn’t make for a well-balanced drink. It’s way too much, particularly the sweetness, especially without a cream or salt to help keep it in check. This has lots of flavor, and for fans of the uber-sweet— this could be your deal. As for me, I’m going to brush my teeth straight away.

Definitely not Starbucks hot chocolate served in cold form. This is thin and smooth with a pleasant cream quotient, and respectably chocolaty. There is a slight mineral-y tang that makes a brief post-swallow cameo. Enjoyable nonetheless, and no, there’s no coffee in it.

As with the other Purmil Ghana branded items, it’s so bland you want to think that it's watery, yet it isn’t.

Not as bad as I expected— but still not something worth drinking. I was expecting strong, bad flavor, and to my surprise it wasn’t strong.

Nicely drinkable with only a mild rummy-ness to the chocolate flavor which is otherwise fine.

Same fruity nonsense as the version I tried earlier— the nutritional info was a little different but the taste was not.

Probably would be pretty good if it had half the sugar. It’s way too sweet, which unfortunately overpowers the other attributes that deserve much more share of the limelight.

Thick, starchy, grainy, and an odd choice for cocoa flavor. It does have strong salty kick at the end which was a welcome surprise, but all things considered it tastes and feels artificial and inauthentic.

Pretty straight-down-the-middle in most respects— has a similar flavor to the private label, big gallon jug chocolate milks that we all grew up on.

Disturbingly bland-- definitely delivers on the “mild taste” claim but there's no “richness of cacao.”

Easily drinkable but the chocolate piece is much more towards the candy end of the spectrum than the cocoa end. There's also a hint of fruity aftertaste, just barely.

Fairly bland, but nicely proportioned. Competent at not trying to do too much.

Smooth as can be, yet creamy and enjoyably flavorful. It won't overpower you, but there's a mild sophistication to the experience.

Dark and salty—fortunately much more palatable than Marmite, but quite a unique combination going on here. The cocoa flavor is less mature than I would hope, and the thickness would benefit from being reined in a bit, but oddly, the package as a whole is fun while it lasts— which isn't long in a 180mL box.

Nasty, fruity taste reminiscent of a cheap chocolate-flavored candy stands above all else.

A touch on the bland side, but nothing feels unnatural. It’s silky smooth going down (akin to its UHT counterpart) and can hold its own amidst a field of sweeter and fattier offerings.

Amped-up flavor but extremely well-balanced and sophisticated feeling. Definitely worth the asking price, which I had assumed was mainly going toward Disney, but if it’s what’s inside that counts, this is a definite winner.

Sharp, sour, dark cocoa flavor that is not bathed in sugar— a very tasty experience that feels naughty.
