Gorgeously well-balanced with a salty uprfont hit that sets the tone early for the delicous deluge that is about to follow. The cocoa flavor is prominent and slightly on the darker side of the continuum-- it's not overly sweet or candified, and comes across as an indulgently creamy treat that lasts well into the aftertaste.
Chocolaty and sweet upfront, with a secondary pop of flavor in the mid-part of the sip, and concluding with a lithe, creamy finish that carries the cocoa flavor through to the aftertaste. It's a unique cocoa profile that starts and ends on the sweet side-- for me, the gorgeous, raw, silky base is the MVP.
Decadent raw, Golden Guernsey cream flavor adorned with a uniquely vanilla-gilded cocoa flavor that warms the soul like post-shoveling hot chocolate on a snow day. There's a confident sophistication about it-- simple ingredients but layered flavor, and an absolute pleasure to take in small sips-- each one a tiny little gift. Can't say enough about the indulgent texture and lasting flavor it leaves behind.
Sweet chocolate flavor nearly dips into 'candified' territory, as it lacks a stronger salty presence to help balance it out. It drinks quickly, thanks to its silky raw base that flows downhill like it's got somewhere to be. Attractive visuals definitely draw the eye when looking in the dairy case-- I like it, but could love it with a reigned-in sweetness and darker, more mature chocolate hit.
Delicious creamy, raw body that carries a lightly malty cocoa flavor with minimal sweetness to detract from the experience. It's confidently under-sweet, and once the cocoa flavor fades, the true star of the show is revealed-- a delicious, dare-I-say buttery back end, with a grassy homage to its roots in the aftertaste. It might not be as 'sexy' to you as it reads here, and sure, it could easily shoulder a heavier cocoa presence, but that can develop over time. This isn't dating material, it's marriage material.
Lightly malty and somewhat understated cocoa flavor that glides effortlessly along the deluge of smooth, creamy, raw milk. Due to the lovely thin viscosity, it distributes evenly and quickly in the mouth-- leaving you ready for more just mere seconds after your latest sip. It's appropriately under-sweet as well, which evokes a more deliberate, mature approach-- perhaps at odds with its relatively quick dissipation. All in all, it's a lovely way to spend a few moments, just be sure to shake it up in between each sip!
Sweet and chocolaty (more chocolate cake than chocolate ice cream(!)) upfront in equal proportions, fortunately the delectably creamy, raw base is up to the task of shouldering the burden and ushering it confidently across your palate, ending in a summarily grassy repose. It's bold, striking, and slightly wild on the back end (my favorite part). A unique drinking experience that ages well, both in terms of the aftertaste and lasting memory.
From texture to cocoa to cream flavor to sweet/salty balance to the gorgeous visuals-- this squarely strikes every note with an assertive brilliance and yet somehow still manages to be greater than the sum of its parts. Not only the best raw chocolate milk I've had thus far, but one of the very best I've had in recent memory. And I have a pretty good memory.
Brilliantly thin and creamy texture that shines from initial sip to lasting aftergolw, carrying a lightly malty cocoa flavor along for the blissful ride. Sweetness is very much in a supporting role and doesn't distract from the creamy deluge, tasteful cocoa accent, and subtle grassy lilt on the back end. A raw chocolate milk with depth and class.
Delicious, well-balanced C&C flavor that is neither cartoonish nor painfully oversweet-- a common affliction in the genre. This is a more mature approach, where accuracy and subtlety meld with its creamline base. Firsts are rare for me nowadays-- and this is the first raw, all-Guernsey, A2/A2 cookies & cream milk I've ever had, and I'm better for it.
Smooth and true mocha milk experience, with coffee and cocoa in delicate balance (one usually dominates the other). It's lithe and goes down quickly-- I'm already starting to feel a warm caffeine buzz radiate from behind my solar plexus. An enjoyable start to anyone's morning.
Gorgeously smooth and creamy texture that disperses perfectly upon each sip. The cocoa flavor is on the earthy side of malty-- a unique flavor that washes out quickly and leaves minimal baggage. Overall, a pleasantly balanced raw chocolate milk with the creamy base as its standout feature.
Tastes and drinks very much like its pasteurized counterpart-- it's highlighted by a heavy sweetness (first) and a substantial cocoa flavor (second) that peaks early and stays late. The thin viscosity helps to deliver the flavor quickly and fully thorughout the mouth, which may feel a bit overwhelming for those expecting something a bit more subtle.
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.
Nostril-flaringly chocolaty in a way that wins your admiration and respect quickly-- thanks in part to the raw, creamy base that knows exactly where to go and how to get there. This stuff has choco 'grit' (both literally and figuratively) so prepare your tastebuds for devastation (only figuratively)-- I mean that in the best possible sense.
Massive chocolate presence, resolutely on the dark/mature end of the spectrum-- and it hits you early and often (and even stays late!). Its thin body (like many raw milks) delivers the flavor rapidly and with uniformity-- and to an extent, feels overburdened with the task, as there is a noticeable cocoa grit that you will feel throughout. Super unique from both a flavor, texture, and even visual standpoint-- it's a fun one to try, and I recommend seeking it out if you're a fan of drinkable dark cocoa.
Sweet upfront with a subtle malty finish. The highlight is the thinness-to-creaminess ratio that always feels right in a raw chocolate milk. I don't pick up much actual cocoa flavor, but I'm enjoying the search.
Paralyzingly brilliant (low) viscosity to (high) creaminess factor-- it drinks like a dream, disperses perfectly, and carries a grassy character throughout that pays respectful homage to its pastoral origins. The cocoa flavor is present more so in the latter third of the sip, and then exists gracefully to a stronger, more durable buttery cream presence that continues to gild your inner oral cavity with warmth. Shake it early and often, as the cocoa settles quickly, and rest assured the connection to your food may never have been so intimate and direct.
Moderately chocolaty and lightly malty, it drinks quickly due the the thinness but leaves a delicious wild, creamy repose on your tastebuds for a long time after each sip. For me, I enjoy the aftertaste every bit even more than the upfront taste, which is on the mild side. This is the real deal-- raw milk as it comes out of the cow, so don't expect it to be like the mass-produced stuff you might find on supermarket shelves.
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.
