Sweet, chocolaty, a little powdery, and fun to drink. Very smooth and palatable chocolate flavor, a touch on the darker side but anyone who enjoys cocoa products would gladly sidle up to one of these.

Fake cocoa taste— like it’s trying to emulate a powdery chocolate candy. Tries to make up for it with sweetness, but that works against it as well. Best to avoid altogether.

Like drinking a 90% chocolate bar— dark, barely sweet, indulgent, and satisfying. Doesn't feel gimmicky or like something for mass consumption— most people wouldn't prefer this, but for those of us who like dark chocolate, it’s beautiful.

Quite different from its Original counterpart, this version is wonderfully flavorful, authentic-feeling, and a tad malty.

Definitely has a strong cinnamon flavor that does not appeal to me. Aside from that, it’s very sweet and has an almost wet-cardboard aftertaste.

Shares the wet cardboard aftertaste that the cinnamon version had— a darker, intense chocolate experience, but hampered by the finish.

Hard to put a finger on it- but for me it tasted too much like the inside of the carton. Unremarkable, for sure, but the cocoa flavor wasn't as much ‘absent’ as it was ‘misdirected.’

Muted, yet inauthentic chocolate flavor that compares unfavorably even to Hershey’s Original. I’m not sure how effective the 5 additional calories (per 100mL) are here.

Looks beautiful when poured into a glass, but the taste has an unfortunate starchy quality that is especially noticeable post-swallow.

Synthetic look, feel, and taste to it. It reminds me of one of those non-dairy fortified supplement drinks. You could convince yourself that there's chocolate flavor in there somewhere, but why go through the anguish of drinking it.

Accurately conveys the ‘cookies 'n’ creme’ taste of the candy bar, but the focus of the taste is more sweet/white-chocolaty than anything else. Not bad, but you're better off pie-holing the candy bar unless you're dying of thirst.

Exceedingly delicious, in a way that perhaps plays to my palate more than others. It’s thin, salty, and the creaminess exudes a buttery quality that implores you to burn through the entire 4 pack (they’re tiny boxes anyway). This is made for kids?! Should be served in a champagne glass.

Flavorful, chalky, salty, sweet, and unique. The cocoa flavor is a bit powdery and it's followed by a salty and almost buttery slap. An entertaining way to spend 2 minutes, or 350 calories (eek).

A fruity, candied quality that does not convey genuine chocolate flavor. It doesn't beat you over the head, but it’s enough to raise your antenna. Look elsewhere.

Pleasant overall experience that provides no surprises, good or bad. All expected flavors are present and identifiable— I do declare: average chocolate milk is still pretty good.

Nothing at all in common with the UHT or fresh version, which you’d think would be a good thing— but this stuff should not be sold in its current form. A foul, mineral-y, yet watery taste— they clearly added extra coloring to convince you it’s chocolate and not carwash runoff.

Very bland, and the primary flavor that comes through reminds me of licking the glue part of an envelope. Where's the chocolate that the packaging insinuates should be in there??

Excellent creamy taste and the sweetness is dialed back sufficiently, allowing the cocoa and creaminess to shine. Plenty of salt as well which gives it a clean finish— your face will want more.

A strange bird here, no pun intended. It’s quite thick and chocolaty, but with absent cream— feels a bit of a contradiction. The flavor is decent and relatively genuine feeling, but the over-thickness paired with missing creaminess drags it into unremarkable territory.

Rather strong cocoa flavor that has a darker quality to it. It’s definitely quite sweet, but with all flavors amped-up as they are, it’s more proportional and doesn't stand out as much. Punchy flavor, indulgent-feeling, but a pleasure to sip.
