Immediately flavorful, with a well-proportioned sweet/salty balance that does well to support the medium-to-malty cocoa presence. It feels fully burdened and its thickness is more than warranted by the cream content. If you've got a chocolate milk itch, this will scratch it to a highly satisfying degree.
Delicious creamline milk that with a malty cocoa focus and interesting grassy undertone that provides depth and character to the cream. It has a nice 'feel' and drinks fairly quickly in spite of its slightly thicker than average viscosity. Start to finish, it's great stuff and worthy of your hard earned cash.
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.
Pretty decent salty-malty cocoa flavor with a deceptively creamy hit in the latter half of the sip. There's a bit of a cooked milk twinge which manifests as a caramel-like flavor, likely from the high-temp pasteurization that caramelizes some of the milk sugars. All in all-- a pretty decent 1%.
Funky in a way that made me immediately check the sell-by date. There's a lingering, acidic / pukey flavor that is present throughout and it's a bad matchup for my personal tastes. Chocolate plus almond plus coconut is an ambitious combination from a flavor standpoint, and I'm not sensing any synergy here. Try if you must, avoid if you can.
One of the better 'no sugar added' chocolate milks I've had thus far. It's not overly chocolaty to be sure, but there's a pleasant, not-too-fakey sweetness that pairs well with the oddly creamy base (for 1%). This punches above its weight class given the constraints it has taken on.
Aside from a pleasant upfront buttery-ness, and competent texture, there's not much else to report. The cocoa flavor is very light and plays a forgettable supporting role (if that). There are some really good 2-percents out there, and this one sadly comes up short.
Watery-thin, but graced with a decently unique and earthy cocoa flavor that arrives early and stays late. Better than your average 1% lowfat chocolate milk, but not by a ton.
Immediate blast of mature, sourish, dark cocoa flavor, strongly supported by its thin but lusciously creamy non-homogenous base-- this is a desserty treat that is worthy of self reflection, repose, and several other things that I'm incapable of. The direction and intensity of the chocolate flavor might not be for everyone, but it's a more than welcome experience for me.
Excellently warm and creamy texture with a grassy nod at the very end, but otherwise rather bland from a flavor standpoint. It's still enjoyable to sip given its lovely base and texture, but the cocoa flavor is a bit off (almost has a maple syrup hint to it) despite being rather muted.
Densely flavorful with a brilliant saltiness throughout that accentuates the malt in the chocolate and pops the buttery cream flavor in the latter third of the sip. Sweetness is confidently dialed back, but plays its supporting role magnificently in the delivery of liquid indulgence. It feels special, but down-to-earth enough to be an every day drinker.
Seemingly blander than its former self-- the claim 'Moo & Improoved" rings nearly as hollow as the drinking experience. It's whole milk, so it has that going for it, but flavorwise, there's simply not a lot going on. Perhaps it's trying to be 'subtle' and I appreciate that it profiles slightly less sweet than before-- it's sure not to offend anyone, except for those looking for a fulfilling, indulgent experience.
Thin, smooth, highly forgettable. This is the paradigm of chocolate milk for so many young and impressionable school children, and it delivers a dead-average (albeit saltier than average) product that establishes mediocrity, possibly setting the children up for future 'minds blown' moments when they discover decent chocolate milk.
Readily indulgent-- a quick, decisive burst of flavor that hits your senses immediately, and once the sweetness subsides, the slightly sour mature cocoa flavor takes hold, ultimately yielding to a grassy cream (creamy grass?) a full 15 seconds after the initial draw. It's unique, and somewhat complex in its simplicity-- a paradox not often breached in chocolate milk-- and I love it for that.
Somewhat salty upfront pop, with a sweet, almost malty flavor in the latter half. There's something novel going on here, and not in a way that hits me in the right way. It's under-chocolaty for sure, and the primary 'flavor' is hard to pin down, and I'm not sure it's worth the search. Texture-wise, it's full and smooth for a whole chocolate milk-- it drinks nicely, and the base is its most favorable feature in my opinion.
Strong cocoa-malt flavor with abundant support from its brilliantly creamy, buttery, non-homogenized base. Each sip ends as satisfying as it began, and before you know it, the pint is gone, and momentarily, so are your troubles.
Sweet to a nigh-painful extent-- and fortunately paired with an accurate chocolate-brownie that can nearly match its intensity. Strongly recommend diluting this with whole milk in order to bring the flavors closer to the middle of the sensory bell curve, where you can appreciate them in reasonable proportion. Drinkable brownie batter is an ambitious undertaking, and they've done well to capture both the sentiment and the potential health perils that lie in wait.
Cream-forward flavor and a delectable (thin) viscosity-to-creaminess ratio that I love so much. Aside from a lightly grassy cream taste, there's surprisingly little else to pique your tastebuds' collective interest. It feels fantastic in the mouth, but comes up well short on cocoa, malt, salt, and sweetness (not a complaint in regard to sweetness). Lots of potential here, but in its current form, it's good but not great.
Awesomely thin and creamy with a mild grassy bent-- all great things-- but otherwise pretty devoid of flavor. It looks and feels great, yet comes across as 'unfinished.' The base could handle a ton more flavor, and despite the stark blandness, it's still enjoyable for me to sip as I feel its heart is in the right place.
