Pleasantly smooth with a powdery quality to both the cocoa and finish, though it doesn't stray too far from the standard chocolate milk paradigm on all fronts. Likely serves as a key component of many a local hangover remedy.

Prairie Farms Lowfat Chocolate Milk (carton)
Even more drab than its nasty ‘wet cement’ gray visage insinuates. The flavor is temporarily sweet, nearly fruity, and all foul. The ‘sell by’ date is still 4 days in the future, but it’s hard to imagine that this is meant to taste like it does.
Oberweis No Sugar Added Low Fat Chocolate Milk
A chemical-esque chalky concoction, this may be more enjoyable to take as a suppository. The earthy flavor is more ‘garage sweepings’ than ‘arable countryside’ and the sweetener is distracting (perhaps a good thing in this case). I get that it’s low calorie— but it just reinforces the adage that there’s no biological free lunch.
Sassy Cow Creamery Reduced Sugar Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Chocolaty, chalky, and a twinge of an odd finish (likely the monk fruit juice), but pulled off surprisingly well for a reduced sugar product. It still feels like chocolate milk, and as long as you sip frequently, the aftertaste can be delayed until your chalice is emptied.
Lamers Dairy Chocolate Milk (glass)
Noticeably thicker than the plastic bottle version, and also finishes with a more chocolaty (than malty) note. It’s deliciously creamy, flavorful, and proof that the ‘Dairyland’s Best’ stamp on the label is anything but hyperbolic.
Lamers Dairy Chocolate Milk (plastic)
Densely malty, with a strength of flavor that carries far into the aftertaste but does not deteriorate in the slightest. Delicious, unique, and something I will endeavor to have again and again.
Lamers Dairy Lowfat Chocolate Milk (plastic)
Impressively chocolaty with a malty twinge, the balance of flavors is pretty much nailed and you end up with a chocolate milk experience that punches above its (low fat) weight class.
Lamers Dairy Lowfat Chocolate Milk (glass)
Impressively chocolaty with a malty twinge, the balance of flavors is pretty much nailed and you end up with a chocolate milk experience that punches above its (low fat) weight class.
Lamers Dairy Fat Free Chocolate Milk
Sweet, dusty cocoa taste with a chalky conclusion, this is far from the worst fat free chocolate milk I’ve had. It’s palatable in small amounts, and gets better with repetition, yet still far from something you’d reach for to serve hedonistic pursuits.
Red Barn Family Farms Low Fat Chocolate Milk
Refreshingly chocolate-focused— which is evident from the bouquet to the burps. Remarkable in its simplicity and a keen reminder that low fat chocolate milk, when executed well, can still feel like a treat.
Roundy's Low Fat Swiss Style Chocolate Milk
Sweet with a syrupy quality to both the flavor and texture— though it also tends to wash out quicker than expected. Cocoa is largely absent and there’s no real depth to the flavor— it reminds me of sugar water.
Lamers Dairy Lowfat Chocolate Milk (carton)
Impressively chocolaty with a malty twinge, the balance of flavors is pretty much nailed and you end up with a chocolate milk experience that punches above its (low fat) weight class.
Sheeder Cloverleaf Dairy Chocolate Milk
Slight hint of 'wildness' to the cream-- which carries outstanding flavor and distributive quality-- expertly delivering the medium cocoa flavor and salty complement directly to the esophagus, soul.
Anderson Erickson Fat Free Chocolate Milk with Stevia
A biting stevia twang rushes to the sides of your tongue, absconding with the bulk of your attention. What remains is a non-creamy, earthy-cocoa-flavored liquid that's not worth your time, money, or refrigerator space.
Picket Fence Creamery Chocolate Milk
Extremely unique— very full, unapologetic vanilla flavor that is a welcome surprise. It exhibits some chalk, but the cream competently handles it and your focus will be directed back to the distinctive flavor.
Hildebrand Farms Dairy Chocolate Milk
Perfectly executed malty flavor and rather velvety texture, with an excellent creamy base holding it all together. The more I have, the more I want— it feels effortless but still rewarding— a rare combination for sure.
Fareway Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk
Chocolaty and heavy, with a bit of a drying sensation at each draw’s conclusion. Nonetheless, its density is comprised of tasty cream and cocoa and feels like a treat.
Belfonte Chocolate Milk
Decent flavor, above average cream, but sadly, the texture feels starchy and as a result, it doesn’t distribute naturally in the mouth.
Shatto Milk Company Chocolate Milk
A dense deluge of sweet chocolaty goodness cascades down my gullet, erasing all worldly concerns and anxieties— until I was rudely interrupted by my brain stem reminding me to take a breath relatively soon.
Belfonte Whole Chocolate Milk
The cocoa flavor is overtly sugary, which isn’t a turnoff, but feels a bit contrived. It goes down smoothly and feels good until a slight drying sensation kicks in after the swallow.
