Quite thick, but cocoa taste is very strong and the flavor is excellent. My only issue is with the thickness, which is highly subjective.
Leader Price Leader Up Boisson Lactee Au Cacao
Overall impression is bland and thicker than expected— both negative qualities. There is a hint of mineral-y taste that might not be detectable in a more flavorful drink. Doesn’t stand out.
Leader Price Boisson Lactée Au Cacao
Well-rounded and pleasurable. A nice salty snap at the end brings everything together and leaves you wanting more.
Lactel Max Chocolat
Very sweet, almost caramel-y / candy-like flavor. Seems like a taste that kids would like; its sweetness makes it stand out, but ultimately brings it down in the long run. Simply too cloying to drink a lot of.
Auchan Boisson Au Lait Choco
Thinner than I expected, and not overly sweet— allowing cocoa to be the predominant quality. There’s a nice simplicity to it.
Candia Viva Chocolat Noir
Very strong, dark cocoa taste delivered through a starchy-feeling drink that leaves a chalky residue in the mouth. One of the least-sugary tasting chocolate milks I’ve ever had— definitely dark cocoa is the star here and it shines brightly amidst textural drawbacks.
Candia Candy Up Chocolaté
Super smooth and thin texture, accompanied by a decent cocoa flavor and sweet/salty balance. Only a slight tang (in the back of the throat and sides of tongue) mars the otherwise tasty and drinkable milk.
Cacolac
Super thin and smooth, I wanted to like it more than I actually did. There’s an off-putting skunkiness to the flavor that is not particularly subtle. I like the experience of siphoning chocolate milk out of a can, but can’t deny that the chocolate flavor is largely absent in favor of a much more foul one.
Lactel Bio Chocolat Gourmand
Much more cocoa taste than sweetness, which is a welcome difference. Feels highly dark-chocolate inspired, and pulls that off well in liquid form. Its dark appearance is nicely congruent with the taste, very well executed.
Casino Boisson Lactée Au Cacao
Has somewhat of a fruity sweetness to it, looks very attractive in the glass but the taste doesn’t deliver.
Delisse Boisson Lactée Chocolatée
Bland, and what flavor does come through is pretty earthy. Nothing else stands out.
Le Gall Bio Lait Chocolaté
Strong rum-like scent and flavor, highly chalky texture. There is a bit of cocoa flavor mixed in, but it’s unfortunately dominated by a rummy/boozy taste.
Eroski Batido De Cacao
Exceptionally chalky with a low amount of sweetness that actually works to its advantage. The cocoa flavor maybe a bit more acidic than I initially expected, but remained consistent throughout and by the end it was not an issue. My first thought was ‘tomato’ when I took a small sip— but that proved to be fleeting.
Ram Batido Al Cacao
Creamy and not overly sweet, my first thoughts were there was a tiny hint of a ‘pencil lead’ type taste that I hadn’t thought about since the last time I chewed on a pencil. Otherwise, it’s rather good.
Celta Batido Al Cacao
Dominated by an unpleasant ‘sour’ taste. Grainy, chalky, unnatural-feeling texture makes matters worse. Avoid.
Don Simon Batido De Chocolate
Sporting an amaretto-ish smell, I was curious if the flavor would follow suit. It did. Very thin and fairly smooth, this doesn’t taste much like a chocolate milk should— it reminds me of a poor version of (Romanian) Zuzu. Potable only by the narrowest of margins.
Spar Batido De Chocolate
Very flavorful and thin/smooth texture with ample creaminess and salt. Doesn’t leave the ‘milk mustache’ residue on the side of the glass— it almost runs down like water, but I can’t deny the dark chocolate taste and overall excellent drinking experience.
Hacendado Batido De Chocolate Sin Lactosa
One of the best-looking products I’ve seen (a shame it’s inside a box!), but this lactose-free version has a hint of a ‘burnt coffee’ taste to me— just a tiny bit. Otherwise, it is well balanced across the board.
Hacendado Batido De Chocolate
Rich and creamy taste—almost buttery—works well with the (slightly) thinner than average texture. The cocoa taste expands in the mouth post-swallow. Remarkable from start to finish.
Cacaolat Upp
Exceptionally chalky and ‘thickened’ feel, a fortified taste dominates the others. Lots of grain left in the mouth. The taste is not off-putting on its own, but when tried against other chocolate milks, you can notice a stiff mineral twang.
