Eberhard's Chocolate Milk

Straightforward but enjoyable whole chocolate with a quickly waning sweetness and cocoa sustain afforded by the whole milk base. It won't raise too many eyebrows be it for good or bad, it paints within the lines, lives up to expectations, and isn't embarrassing to be seen with in public.

Dutch Bros Chocolate Milk

Amped up on all levels-- powerfully (nigh painfully) sweet first, strongly chocolaty next, and a full-fat base that feels overworked carrying all of that flavor. It's delicious in short spurts, possibly gratuitous in a normal 8oz serving. The flavor doesn't age particularly well, as the syrupy sweetness outlasts everything and overstays its oral welcome. I can definitely see why the kids like this, but mature palates be warned.

Mauthe's Progress Milk Barn Chocolate Milk

Gracefully thin and smooth for a creamline chocolate milk-- I appreciate the alacrity with which it moves and the facility with I can down a pint. Flavor-wise, it registers a sweetness upfront, followed by a lightly malty cocoa presence that takes you the rest of the way. It drinks quickly, and is enjoyable while it lasts.

Clark Farms Creamery Cold Brew Mocha Milk

Well-executed mocha flavor here, where each component has strong representation throughout. The reduced-fat base keeps things moving on the palate, leaving behind a bit of astringency on the tongue, but overall working above its pay grade to deliver the choco-coffee goodness directly to your tastebuds, stomach, and ultimately, brains stem with a pleasant jolt of caffeine.

Stewart's Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk

Saltier than sweet, which affords the peanutty flavor a bit more of the limelight-- but a decent choice rather than an overly sweet, overly salty onslaught of flavor. This feels more delicate and deliberate, and paired with a slightly thinner viscosity than expected, lends itself to a more unique and less-gimmicky limited edition flavor.

A. B. Munroe Dairy Chocolate Milk

Well balanced flavor and texture, a solidly rewarding given its 2% reduced fat base. Doesn't look or feel out of place in its attractive glass bottle-- at the very least: a welcome option for those seeking to allocate more of their fat-calorie spend on ice cream rather than chocolate milk.

Fish Family Farm Chocolate Milk

Unapologetically thick and girthy-- it delivers a disproportionately strong cocoa flavor given its rather fair complexion. Each sip is a meal in itself, so if you came to the farm for ice cream you might be just as satisfied with 8 oz of this instead. Chewing is optional.

Springhouse Creamery Chocolate Milk

Cream-forward flavor and a delectable (thin) viscosity-to-creaminess ratio that I love so much. Aside from a lightly grassy cream taste, there's surprisingly little else to pique your tastebuds' collective interest. It feels fantastic in the mouth, but comes up well short on cocoa, malt, salt, and sweetness (not a complaint in regard to sweetness). Lots of potential here, but in its current form, it's good but not great.

Buckincow Creamery Chocolate Milk

Awesomely thin and creamy with a mild grassy bent-- all great things-- but otherwise pretty devoid of flavor. It looks and feels great, yet comes across as 'unfinished.' The base could handle a ton more flavor, and despite the stark blandness, it's still enjoyable for me to sip as I feel its heart is in the right place.

Dean's Dutch Chocolate Milk

Pleasantly sweet cocoa flavor upfront that provides a nice initial jolt but fades rather quickly, as the aftertaste retains more of the sweetness and less of the chocolate. It's significantly more enjoyable than its 1% lowfat counterpart which lacks dimension. In summary, it tastes good in a vacuum and sits comfortably among the low-ish tier of whole chocolate milks.

Way-Har Farms Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk

Same unique flavor profile to the whole version (noticeably less-sweet, and unique toasted marshmallow-esque flavor), this 2% port is a fantastic use of its calories, should that be a concern. It's slightly thinner and has less creamy sustain than it's full-fat counterpart, but this easily outpaces some of the big-brand whole chocolate milks that you might find in your local supermarket.

Deliteful Dairy Cookies & Cream Milk

Sweet cookie flavor with its own highly-competent cream, it's on the sweet side for chocolate milk (nearly all CnC milks are) but remains an accurate representation and should be sought out for fans of this profile, or those looking to expand their library of delicious drinkable confections.

Creamworks Creamery Chocolate Milk

The beautiful look of it may have gotten my expectations a bit too high, as there wasn't much of a flavor punch to speak of, but still drank nicely albeit on the chalky/drying side. Its creamy base could certainly shoulder more flavor, perhaps I got a somewhat blander batch than usual. In the grand scheme of things, it's still well above average, but lacking that extra gear to thrust it toward the top.

Dygert Farms Creamery Chocolate Milk

Interesting combination of thick and smooth-- with a strong creamy presence that could easily carry more flavor. The flavor that is present, is an enjoyable, salty and only slightly malty one-- unique and tasty in its own right, but resolutely in bland territory.

Quality Dairy Chocolate Milk

The cocoa profile is uniquely sour and 'wheaty' in my estimation, neither of which to an off-putting extent, but readily noticeable. Its body is sweet, beefy, and up to the task of distributing its flavor to where it needs to go. In short, it's both sweet and sour, and if that combination tickles your fancy, make your way over to QD.
