Windy Hill Goat Dairy Chocolate Milk

Velvety cream with a wild goaty homage that provides unique depth to each sip. The cocoa is curtailed by a sharp(ish) salty/maltiness that feels like it belongs with the rest of the package. In short, this is a structurally sound, delicious chocolate goat milk worthy of your time and attention.

Peaceful Springs Farm Raw Chocolate Goat Milk

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.

Alpine Ridge Dairy Chocolate Goat Milk

The best chocolate goat milk I’ve had thus far! It’s extraordinarily well balanced from a salty/sweet/chocolaty perspective, and the cream is super-accessible and not overly ‘goaty’ (which may be a turnoff to some). All in all, a legitimately tasty feat of agri-confection.

DVF Dairy Farm Chocolate Water Buffalo Milk

Very unique— not only because it’s the first Kalabaw (Filipino water buffalo) milk I’ve had— but there’s a flavor to it that I've yet to experience in over 1,000 previous chocolate milks. It’s ‘spicy’— not in the traditional ‘hot’ sense, but it’s reminiscent of spices like cinnamon and perhaps tamarind (not a spice, I know) more so than chocolate. Pleasant, nonetheless, and worth a try if visiting Manila.

Hay Dairies Chocolate Goat Milk

It's hard to tell that this is sweetened at all— or ‘chocolate’ for that matter. I’ve never had straight goat milk, but now I feel that I have. Not the worst thing under the sun, but aside from a mild ‘game’ flavor and an equally mild ‘malt’ flavor— there’s very little here to taste. It’s very thin, and separates quickly— otherwise you wouldn't believe that it was ‘chocolate goat milk.’

UK Farm Chocolate Goat Milk

The dominant flavor is ‘malt’ by a long shot— it’s not particularly chocolaty or goaty. The texture is excellent, and the creaminess shines as well (especially given the thin medium). It’s not ‘gamey’ or ‘wild’ tasting as other non-cow milks can be, but more on the bland side with plus physical attributes.

National Goat Milk Chocolate

Nary a hint of ‘goat’— and only a tiny kiss of chocolate— this is not nearly the flavorful experience that ‘chocolate goat milk’ would insinuate, be it good or bad. The cream clings to the inside of your mouth for an unnecessary duration after the swallow, but it doesn’t sport much of an aftertaste, as that would have at least required a fore-taste.

Hope Eco-Farms Chocolate Milk from Grassfed Water-Buffalo

Thin, creamy (we cheated by using a blender, as tireless manual shaking couldn’t break up all the chunks of cream), and a prominent but slightly powdery chocolate flavor. The cream is really difficult to incorporate fully, as it becomes foamy and wants to ride atop the drink. As such, the flavor gets washed out toward the end by a watery feel. It’s unique, and not miles apart from cows milk— only the aftertaste hints at difference, be it species or the grassfed-ness.

Hope Eco-Farms Chocolate Milk From Grassfed Sheep

Powerful blast of flavor— cocoa, cream, and a salty butteriness that will cause your tongue to weep: emitting tears more closely associated with joy than sorrow. There’s no goaty twang, but an undeniably unique quality that is both fun and interesting. Once the liquid is gone, you have a drying chalkiness that isn’t terribly off-putting because the tasty flavor lingers alongside. A must-try for fans of chocolate milk!

Oak Knoll Dairy Chocolate Goats' Milk

Salty, buttery, and decently chocolaty— a marked improvement compared with the Love Goat I had in Bangkok— the only other chocolate goat milk I’ve had. There’s a bit of an aftertaste that seems different from regular cow milk, but it’s not offensive— most people wouldn’t cry “goat” if presented with this (myself included).
