Good texture and creamy flavor but the underlying flavor that the cream supports is more wet-cardboard than luscious chocolate. A dash or two more of salt would certainly help to ameliorate the issue.
real,- Quality Frische Schoko-Milch
Beautiful to watch it cascade out of the bottle and into a glass-- but the aesthetics set a high bar that is hard to live up to. In short, it’s got punchy flavor but way too heavy on the sweetness end. The first sip is a nice surprise, but the 4th and 5th are a bit much.
Bauer Schoko Protein Drink
Seems like a contradiction in terms, but this is SO memorably bland. It tastes like nothing at all— not water, not air, but maybe like plain 1% milk, without the ‘milk’ flavor though (whatever that is). Almost always, these protein drinks have some sort of weird flavor, sweetener, texture, etc.— but not this one. Four years ago, in Berlin (for my birthday) we did the float tank (Float Berlin); this is the drinkable version of sensory deprivation.
Kaufland Milkshake Schoko
Very reminiscent of the American Style Milkshake from Netto— candylike chocolate flavor in a super-emulsified texture that feels unnatural. There’s no salt quotient at all (which is essential in a milkshake) so it just goes way too far in the sweet/thick direction.
Kaufland Laktosefrei Chocolate Flavored Milk Drink
Sweet and salty, though the sweetness feels forced and does not mesh well with the rest of the product. I’ve certainly had worse, but there are a lot of better lactose free options out there.
Kaufland Drink Mit Kakao
Water-thin and marked by an earthy/wheaty unpleasantness. Not recommended.
Kaufland Schokodrink (Low Fat)
Noticeable saltiness that helps to curry a malty flavor, helping to make up for the lack of strong cocoa presence.
Kaufland Schokodrink (Whole)
Cream and salt work together to deliver a flavorful, malty experience that can be yours for a mere $0.54. The added fat takes the same decent flavor of the low fat version and helps it to shine even more.
Happy Drink Schoko Low Fat
Bland, boring, pointless. And those are the positive aspects.
Milcobel Choco! Choco!
Sweet, salty, adequately chocolaty, and with a little buttery snap at the conclusion of each sip. Pretty good find for subway station vending machine fare.
Hemme Milch Trinkschokolade
Creaminess definitely upstages the cocoa aspect, but it's a tasty experience underscored with malt that gets better with each sip. Felt like this version was slightly sweeter than the bagged version in a side-by-side comparison.
Hemme Milch Schoko
Creaminess definitely upstages the cocoa aspect, but it's a tasty experience underscored with malt that gets better with each sip.
Edeka Schoko Drink
Thin texture, but otherwise rather straight down the middle from a flavor perspective. Competent, non-offensive, a solid 5.
Mark Brandenburg Frische Schoko-Milch
Starchy, sour, rummy— nothing good going on here.
OK.- Choco-Drink (330mL)
Definitely a vitaminy taste that borders on metallic and somewhat of a fugazi texture. I would consider the “OK” on the label to be a bit of an overstatement.
Kohrener Landmolkerei Frische Kakaomilch
Nicely mature flavor, with prominent cocoa and a sourness that works well with the lower sweetness. Thin and a bit chalky, the texture doesn't detract from the experience.
Immergut Choco
Interesting combination of whole milk and ‘no sugar added’ (artificial sweeteners)— and taste wise, it works. It feels dense but not terribly unnatural, and the higher fat content sufficiently masks (or trumps) the artificial sweeteners that are often difficult to hide. Over all, a unique and pleasant experience.
Schwalbchen Caffredo Latte Cioccolata
Chocolaty and sweet— definitely achieves what it sets out to do, with minimal detraction from the indulgence. The entire 250mL cup was empty before I knew it— a testament to the deliciousness contained therein.
Milbona Milch Drink Schoko
Good cocoa flavor, nicely thin viscosity and smooth texture with a creaminess still present. Slightly more sweet than chocolaty, but overall above average. No notable difference from ‘Milbona Milch Drink Lisas Schoko Mix.’
Chocomel (can)
Wow— proof that decent chocolate milk can come from, well… a can! Without having them side-by-side, I cannot tell a difference between this version and the carton version; kudos to Chocomel. It’s abundantly flavorful and has a unique, sourish-maltyish taste that goes down easy and feels like you did your taste buds a solid.
