Absolutely phenomenal on the palate— delivering powerfully grassy Jersey cream and cocoa with an artfully deft restraint on the sweetness lever. It’s bold, beefy, and brave in the best possible sense. I will cry when this bottle is empty. I don’t cry often.
Densely flavorful without the cumbersome body— truly a masterpiece that lines up exceedingly well with my personal proclivities. The slightly mature cocoa flavor is delivered through a delicious grassy cream that seeks out your tastebuds with masterful precision and care. It knows it’s good, but refuses to brag.
Creamy, salty, malty, and smooth— not a bad profile for a reduced fat chocolate milk, and while the cocoa piece is largely missing, it’s not too sorely ‘missed’ in this case.
Luxuriously buttery, excruciatingly flavorful, the absolute pinnacle of what Jersey chocolate milk can and should be! The perfect amount of grass in the cream serves as a constant homage to its origins and the true magic that cows perform in order to convert ‘that’ to ‘this.’ Each sip feels like a gift that I neither earned nor deserved. Pure heaven.
Surprisingly strong pop of flavor upfront, then hampered by a modest stevia-laden aftertaste. There’s a slight cooling sensation throughout, and while the stevia is fairly well cloaked initially, it later induces salivation (reactionary, not anticipatory, to be clear).
Luxuriously creamy throughout, from first contact to lasting afterglow— imparting a delicious medium cocoa flavor on every surface it graces. If all chocolate milk felt as rewarding as this, the world would be a much better place!
Unapolagetically confident in its creamy base and maturely indulgent cocoa flavor— where sweetness plays very much a supporting role and is better for it. It’s dessert-y, and wholly satisfying without the oft-used sugary ‘crutch’— in short, it’s a magnificent way to spend a few bucks, a few hundred calories, and a few precious moments of your life.
Nicely flavorful and creamy for a reduced-fat chocolate milk. It hits all the requisite notes with competence and fulfills its duty as a slightly premium but worthwhile convenience store dairy case option.
More malty than chocolaty, but more creamy than malty— a delectably smooth and tasty experience that concludes with a grassy, salty caress. Not sure if that conjures the right imagery, but it’s what came to mind.
Same deliciously unique flavor of the original (non-A2) Braum’s, featuring a powerful cocoa punch, hefty body, and commendable under-sweetness that affords a toasted marshmallow flavor without the sugar rush.
Smoothly creamy, and features more cocoa flavor than sweetness or salt. It feels simple, yet manages to nail the essence of what good chocolate milk should be.
Remarkably chocolaty to the extent that its reduced fat base feels maximally leveraged— delivering a solidly indulgent, plenty sweet, and abundantly flavorful experience. A higher fat content would have likely spiked the max flavor and sustained it for longer, but as it is, I’m not complaining.
Sharply and confidently malty, and I applaud the commitment to that end. It’s decidedly unique and pulls off its charter with panache. There’s no lack of salty or sweet, it’s a punch in the face, albeit a well-intentioned one. Bravo.
A violently sweet attempt at chocolate egg nog, with no semblance of chocolate, and sugar content seemingly beyond what science could allow. The searing sweetness will aggravate the nerves in your throat; it’s criminal that this doesn’t come with an insulin chaser.
Quickly flavorful, and leaves you wanting more— both in the sense of a second serving, as well as a desire for a more resolute cocoa flavor and creamier base. Beggars can’t be choosers, and 2% certainly has its limits, but the chasm between ‘good’ and ‘great’ remains formidable.
The creaminess-to-viscosity ratio makes it infinitely drinkable and the mildly grassy/buttery finish serves as the perfect exclamation point to a delectably enjoyable, rooted-in-nature dairy potable.
Sweet, smooth, and chocolaty, quite possibly in that order. The flavor is delivered promptly and efficiently, bestowing the delicious experience that we’ve come to expect and revere from whole chocolate milk.
Girth with purpose! Its densely concentrated flavor explodes on the tongue with salt, malt, cocoa, and lovely grassy cream that manages to extend its flavorful footprint long after the swallow. Simply put— there’s a whole lot to like, and fortunately, I’ve got a whole lot to drink.
Chalky, hollow, and sadly astringent. This neither satisfies the palate nor drinks easily— I’ll mark it down as a food science failure.
Funky fortified-esque flavor, not inconsistent with the Nesquik profile, but a departure from what most would consider to be ‘tasty.’ It’s salty upfront, and drying on the back end, and not enjoyable in between. Drink it for the ‘protein’ if you must, but this is strictly for post-recreation, not for recreation itself.
