Richly chocolaty and decadent— definitely the best 365 branded chocolate milk I’ve had thus far. It’s plenty sweet, but not overly so, and everything else competently supports the cocoa flavor that is clearly the star of the show.

Fairly flatly malty, with a (somehow) creamy yet chalky feel. There’s little chocolate to be had, but the fat content helps to maintain a hint of richness in an otherwise mundane experience.

Much more malty than anything else, but still very tasty in its own right. There’s not a ton of depth to the flavor, but everything else feels comfortably in place.

Creamy, smooth, and desserty without being overpoweringly flavorful in any direction. Malt is the most notable feature, and it’s executed well enough that pining for more chocolate would be an unlikely and perhaps unreasonable response.

Highly unique, vanilla-forward punch will make your cup runneth over with flavor. Chocolate soon follows, hitting that 'melted ice cream' flavor that is a lot less common (for chocolate milk) than one might assume. It's non-homogenized base far outperforms the bog-standard supermarket whole milk, and is fully burdened with a novel vanilla-choc flavor profile, explosive sweetness, and a generous (albeit tertiary) creamy kick.

Smoother and slightly less sweet than Bojangles, and a similarly enjoyable experience. It doesn't take any chances; escaping mediocrity is likely not the goal here. Sonic has many more truly indulgent menu options— chocolate milk need not be one of them.

Sweet and lightly malty, an average experience that carries all the hallmarks of chocolate milk. It doesn't promise anything that it can't deliver.

Ultra smooth, uber bland. Does have a pleasantly light sweetness and splash of creamy, but otherwise it’s vanilla. Almost literally.

A dialed-back sweetness works in its favor as it helps to keep chocolate as the main focus. There is a tiny hit of a ‘menthol-ish’ quality, sort of in the same sense that the paste we used in grade school had a ‘mintyness’. It doesn’t detract much, it’s just noticeable enough to comment. Don’t act like you didn’t at least try eating paste as a child.

Decidedly average in most respects— it is on the thinner side of the viscosity continuum. It does sport a mild ‘cartony’ taste that tends to be more prevalent in smaller carton-housed chocolate milks. Plenty serviceable for collegiate dining halls, late-night study groups, and hangover relief.

Much more malty than chocolaty, but creamy and unique. It’s fairly salty and leaves more of a post-swallow residue than an aftertaste. This won't satisfy your chocolate fix, but it’s malty and indulgent enough feeling to feel desserty.

Outstandingly chocolaty and malty flavor, with a generous dose of cream and salt to curb any undesirable aftertaste and leave you lusting after your next sip, glassful, and bottle.

Nicely creamy but in lieu of chocolate flavor there is a cloying sweetness that gives it more of a vanilla bent-- but still not quite vanilla. In the end, it's creamy, uninterestingly sweet, and otherwise bland.

Smooth, creamy, chocolaty, and just a hair too heavy on sweetness, which you will feel dancing on your glottis a few seconds after each swallow.

Proof that above average chocolate milk can come in a gallon jug! It's very well balanced, with plenty of cocoa flavor, creaminess, and a sweetness that knows its role.

It tastes like sweet strawberry gum— not the worst thing ever, but I couldn’t locate the chocolate component. My biggest disappointment was that the product is the typical Yoohoo brown— I was hoping for something closer to the box’s radioactive mauve.
