Resoundingly refreshing cocoa flavor with a slightly mature/sour pitch in the first third of the sip. It's not particularly wild or 'goaty' for those concerned about that-- it remains confidently under-sweet and cocoa-focused-- and I applaud the commitment to making chocolate milk that feels like: chocolate, milk.
Brilliantly thin with generous cocoa and lavishly grassy undertones, it's a unique treasure to enjoy raw chocolate milk like this. Its thin viscosity is devoid of any starches, thickeners, or emulsifiers could prove to be a hurdle for the uninitiated. But it's a hurdle well worth pursuing.
Greeted quickly by a unique maple-syrup-like sweetness, and then promptly ignored. Coloration aside, there's scant evidence of cocoa flavor, and while it drinks pleasantly, it does nothing to cause you to look backward (reflection) or forward (anticipation) in regard to what just crossed your palate.
Bold and brave-- an unapologetically un-sweet chocolate milk that shines the spotlight on cocoa and buttery, grassy, salty cream (even at 2% reduced fat). The result is a shockingly focused treat that is adequately sweet in isolation, but is likely to be off-putting to the casual consumer seeking a quick, sweet fix. I'm seriously impressed.
Creamy base with an almost honey-like sweetness that nicely compliments the cocoa flavor. It drinks effortlessly, yet is satisfying in short sips.
Sweetly flavorful with a caramel-escent lilt that gives it a unique profile. Texture-wise, it's a slightly thinner than average yet appropriately milky and competent base. Noticeably more interesting and pleasant than its typical lowfat peers.
A deeper, darker, and of course, creamier experience compared with it’s 2% (non-organic) counterpart— but it lacks a salty punch that would further pop the cocoa and cream. Petty nitpicks aside, it’s an absolutely delicious way to spend a few dollars, a few minutes, and a few hundred calories.
Every bit as delectable as its reduced fat sibling (just a tad girthier), this could very well be the best shelf-stable chocolate milk available. Unapologetically grassy, salty, and buttery (not necessarily in that order)— it delivers loads of indulgence from mouth to brainstem to duodenum— and all points in between.
If Robitussin got into the chocolate milk business, I would expect something similar to this. Fortunately the Stevia flavor isn’t oppressive, but it’s not flavorful in any positive direction. The texture is dense and not as unnatural as expected, and visually, it looks ok. And just like that, my cough is gone.
Refreshingly unsweet, with a heft that would suggest more flavor than it actually carries. There’s a bit of an aftertaste that is a departure from ‘milky’ or ‘chocolaty’ but overall, its focus on cocoa (without a sugary crutch) is unique and honorable.
Devastatingly focused on delivering a clean, true cocoa flavor that pairs exceedingly well with the cream to provide a top-flight drinking experience. There’s a salty bite and a fleeting but blissful grassy back-end that both feels like a reward, yet is rewarding in itself.
Confidently wild, luxuriously creamy, and exceedingly drinkable— the grass-fed cream is by far the star of the show here. Chocolate plays an understated, yet competent role, letting the cream flourish and the salt accentuate each draw like an ocean wave lapping the smoothly sun-bleached rocks of the Downeast Maine coast.
Densely packed with outstanding cocoa flavor that remains the sole focus throughout. Both salty and sweet step aside allowing the chocolate to steamroll your face into prostrate submission. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
An intensely dark brown visage whets your appetite for the rich, brazen cocoa experience on which you will soon embark— and it fails to disappoint. It’s appropriately undersweet, sufficiently creamy, and lavishly celebrates the merits of cocoa to an extent that so few potables achieve.
Hollow and watery with the trademark Stevia-astringency, which remains remarkably difficult to hide. I’ve had much worse tasting things at this low-50s-calorie-per-100mL tranche, and I can’t deny the impressive attributes (organic, lactose free, gluten free, Fair Trade, high calcium, high(ish) protein)— but the flavor and drinking experience does not compare favorably to your average chocolate milk.
Brilliant cocoa flavor and thin yet creamy delivery system. It’s plenty sweet, but backed by a strong and genuine chocolate presence, there’s an awful lot to like here.
Awesomely creamy, but carries more of a sugary flavor than one of cocoa or malt. It’s not a huge detriment, but everything else is so good that it’s easy to pick on the quality that isn’t quite there. Still, a very strong recommendation— this stuff is great.
Salty, sweet, and chocolaty, it’s hard not to enjoy this. There’s a noticeable chalk to it, but when it delivers authentic-feeling cocoa flavor, it doesn’t register as obtrusive in the least. Flat out delicious!
Intoxicating brown color, and a unique but enjoyable drinking experience. The sweetness decidedly has a ‘honey’ characteristic to it, but the cocoa is strong and the drink on the whole is rather substantial and filling. Lots of chalk, but the flavor delivers. You will want to brush your teeth afterward.
Very similar to Dutch organic ‘Happy Chocolate’ in many ways— the only difference was that this seemed just a bit less salty— and I can’t decide which I prefer— they’re both outstanding.
