Profiles like a cookies & cream flavor with a caramel-like wave that hits mid-sip and sweeps it into another category-- evidently 'chocolate chip cookie.' The aftertaste tapers to an almost fruitiness, that, for me, had hints of canteloupe which I'm sure is unintentional. It's not great, albeit highly congruent with the Nesquik brand.

Decidedly uninspired and uninspiriing-- mild cocoa flavor stretched thinly over a lowfat, no-frills base. There's a slight salty quality which fortunately surfaces above the sweetness, but it's not satisfying in any regard and leaves you with an unnatural astringency in the mouth-- not a great feeling while you're looking in the fridge for a chaser.

Ultra-smooth, and very noticeably ultra-pasteurized. The cooked milk flavor is more prominent than anything else, and the 'chocolate' side of it seems to impact the coloration (which is albeit still light) than the flavor-- where it's almost entirely absent. It doesn't take much to realize it's an empty experience, and should be sold by the thimbleful rather than quart.

Fairly drab with a sharpish saltiness that causes your tongue to water toward the tip-- not much cocoa presence and the base feels watered down and somewhat depleted. It's a stopgap at best, an underwhelming representation of chocolate milk at worst. Leaning toward 'worst' here.

Am I missing something here? Grass fed, creamline chocolate milk is right up my alley, but this unfortunately misses on so many levels. I'm left to suppose that I got a bad batch(?)-- though it's decidedly not spoiled (I've had enough of those to know). The flavor is highlighted by a syrupy funk that does not deliver cocoa, cream, malt, or any other desirable characteristics often found in chocolate milk.

Reformulated from the previous version, this is every bit as sickly sweet as before, albeit with improved visuals (from what I can remember) and a thin texture built for speed rather than comfort. Sugar junkies, seek this stuff out, but it's way too distractingly sweet for me to recommend in good faith.

Nothing to see here— not in the clichéd cover-up way, but literally, there’s nothing worth your attention in regards to this product. The fact that it’s made available to institutions so they can ‘offer’ chocolate milk is great, but ultimately does the genre reputational damage for those who assume this to be standard.

Earthy, flat, and noticeably aggregate— perhaps an excavation site in drinkable form— albeit with a deftly tuned sweetness level and otherwise palatable characteristics. It doesn’t take much to stand out in the ‘institutional’ market, but so far it’s a half step above the field.

Sweetness that would contort even the most stoic of faces. The cookies & cream flavor is decent, but this drinks like melted vanilla ice cream drowned in corn syrup and garnished with powdered sugar.

Super smooth but marked by an off-putting sweetness that entirely trumps the remainder of the drink. It crescendos in the latter half of the sip and ushers in a nearly tamarind-like sweetness that rings false.

Nothing offensive, unless you’re aggrieved by an impossibly boring product that would be upstaged by an unsalted pretzel. Fortunately it’s not over-sweet, which is appreciated, but every other meaningful flavor category is underrepresented here as well.

Sweet with a syrupy quality to both the flavor and texture— though it also tends to wash out quicker than expected. Cocoa is largely absent and there’s no real depth to the flavor— it reminds me of sugar water.
